Hermenar 1 was bishop of Bituriges (Bourges; in Francia); he was one of the twelve bishops sent from Francia by Charlemagne and Carloman (Karoulos 1 and Karoulomannos 2) to attend the Council of Rome in 769; all were chosen for their knowledge of Scripture and canon law (see text cited under Ado 2): Lib. Pont. 96. 17 ("Hermennarius, episcopus civitate Betorecensis"). He is named seventh in the list of bishops from Francia at the Council.
