Born at Tui, Spain, Hermogius founded Labrugia Monastery in Spanish Galicia in 915.[1] Shortly afterwards he was taken prisoner by the Moors after their recent conquest of the area. Hermogius was released when his nephew, Pelaguis took his place as a hostage for the Moors. Pelagius would later suffer death as a martyr, with Hermogius retreating to Ribas del Sil, where he would eventually die, in 942.
