Career
Egino was placed in the abbey of Saints Ulric and Afra as a child. He became abbot of the abbey but was expelled when he supported Pope Callistus II against Emperor Henry V in a dispute.
Residing in Saint Blaise Abbey, he retumed to Augsburg in 1106, resuming his office of abbot in 1109.
In 1120, Egino fled to Rome because of his opposition to Bishop Hermann, who practiced simony. Retuming to Augsburg two years later, he died in Pisa.
