Herman the Cripple, also known as Herman the Lame and Herman of Reichenau, (1013-1054). He is a Blessed of the Roman Catholic Church. [Reference needed] The Church acknowledges that he lived a life of heroic virtue worthy of imitation and that it is an article of Catholic faith that he now lives forever with God in heaven and can therefore intercede on behalf of the faithful still living on Earth. He was a Benedictine monk who wrote poetry, hymns and scholarly treatises. He also made musical and astronomical instruments. In Latin, he is referred to as Hermanus Contractus.
