Hospito

Hospito (Hospiton in Latin, Ospitone in Sardinian) was a Sardinian chief of Barbagia (dux Barbaricinorum) who converted to Christianity in the late sixth century. Gregory the Great, in a letter dated to 594, commended Hospito for his Christianity at a time when most of the Sardinians from the interior (Barbaricini) were still pagans "living, all like irrational animals, ignorant of the truth of God and worshiping wood and stone."[1][2]

Hospito confirmed a peace with the Byzantine dux Zabardas and allowed the missionaries Felix and Ciriacus into Barbagia.
