thumb|Eberigisil Eberigisil (died before 593) was Bishop of Cologne, being the fifth well-attested bishop, and the first with a Frankish name. Evergislu's tenure was marked by the unrest brought about by the migration of peoples, which dominated both city and country. Evergislus tried to build up religious life and ecclesiastical peace.
==Life== He is mentioned by Gregory of Tours but always using the past tense, so it is assumed that Eberigisil died before 594. Gregory says that Eberigisil built a church in honor of the martyr Mallosus in Birten, near Xanten. In 590 he settled disputes in a nunnery in Poitiers on behalf of Childebert II.
