Odoarius

Odoarius (bishop 750–780) was a medieval Galician clergyman. He was of Andalusi or North-African origini and headed north after hearing of the victories of Pelagius against the Muslims and the ascent of Alfonso I of Asturias to the throne.^[1] He is supposed to have restored the see of Lugo after the reconquest of Galicia from the Moors by king Alfonso I of Asturias.^[1]
