'''Berthold''' (died 1111) was a [[Benedictine]] [[lay brother]] ([[oblate]]).<ref>Our Sunday Visitor's Encyclopedia of Saints Matthew Bunson, Stephen Bunson - 2003 - Page 166 "Berthold (d. 1111)   Benedictine lay brother.</ref>
Berthold was born in Parma, Italy, to where his [[Anglo-saxon]] parents ultimately fled after the [[Norman conquest of England]]. He was putatively pledged to the monastery at the age of 12 years.
Berthold spent the majority of his life serving nuns in [[Parma]], at the Benedictine [[Sant'Alessandro, Parma|Monastery of Sant'Alessandro]].<ref>[http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=1774 St. Berthold] Catholic Online</ref> As a young man, he made various pilgrimages, including to Rome, and to the burial spot of [[Saint Anthony of Vienne]] in [[Isère|Isere]]. Back in Parma, he helped in the monastery and with the infirm at their hospital. While a number of miracles were attributed to prayers or encounters with Berthold, he was never canononized.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=hS-Sa9SeMswC Vita e Miracoli di Bertoldo, Oblato del Monastero delle Monache di Santo Alessandro di Parma]  Appreffo Giacomo Ardizzoni, Stampator Camer. 1624,
