Saint Bede tells us that he "brought many of them into the way of truth" until he was driven out by Saxons. Swithbert fled into Frankish territory, where King Pepin 👑 granted him an island 🏝️ in the Rhine River at Kaiserwerth , near Düsseldorf . Swithbert founded a monastery there & died not long afterward. Swithbert's relics were rediscovered in 1626 A.D. & may be venerated today in Kaiserwerth. He is the patron of those suffering from angina #Catholic https://youtu.be/UCtFtG4I8mE
