Agilfrid (died 13 December 787) was a Roman Catholic bishop, who was an associate of Charlemagne and served as the Bishop of Liège from 769 until his death in 787.
== Biography == Agilfrid was born in the early 8th century into a noble Frankish family, and has been said to be a relative of Charlemagne. Due to no clarification of how Agilfrid was related to him, historians suggest that he was related through one of his wives. Agilfrid served as an abbot of Saint-Amand Abbey and Saint Bavo's Abbey prior to his ascension to bishop, and is assumed to have retained the title of abbot during his episcopate. Sometime in 754, Agilfrid, while returning from Rome, acquired and brought the relics of Pharaildis and Bavo of Ghent from Lotharingia to Saint Bavo's Abbey, where they remain present to this day.
