Magnus (bishop)
Bishop Magnus I, or Mauno, was the Roman Catholic Bishop of Turku between 1291 and 1308[1]. He was the first bishop who is known to have been born in Finland. He also helped to complete the Christianization of Finland started by St. Henry[2].
In 1300, Bishop Magnus translated the relics of St. Henry during a period of consolidation of religious and secular power in Medieval Northern Europe[3].
