The Norman Guitmund (died c. 1090–1095), Bishop of Aversa, was a Benedictine monk who was an opponent of the teachings of Berengar of Tours.
==Life== ===Early life=== In his youth Guitmund entered the monastery of La-Croix-Saint-Leufroy in the Diocese of Évreux. By 1060 he was studying theology at the Abbey of Bec, where he had Lanfranc as teacher and Anselm as a fellow-student, each of them later Archbishop of Canterbury. In 1070 William the Conqueror called him to take up a diocese in England, but Guitmund rejected the offer after witnessing in England to William's brutality and oppression of the English people. Guitmund answered William with his Oratio ad Guillelmum, denouncing the Norman Conquest.
