Georgius was bishop of Ostia, and had been in France with Pope Stephen II in 754. In February 756 he was dispatched by Pope Stephen II to France to beg help from the Franks against the Lombard King Aistulf, who was besieging Rome. Georgius was still in France in March 757. He was back in Rome at the beginning of the reign of Pope Paul I, who sent him as ambassador to Pipin again in the Spring of 758 (or 759); he was still at the royal court in June 761. At some point between 764 and 766 Pepin requested that Bishop George of Ostia stay in France at the royal court, and the Pope again granted his request (iam iterum concedit). On 28 June 767 the new Pope, Constantine II, was consecrated by Bishop George of Palestrina, a privilege usually reserved to the Bishop of Ostia. In 769 he was present at the Council of Rome, as the Bishop of Amiens. In 782 he was sent on a mission to Pope Hadrian by Charlemagne. He took part in the consecration of the churches at Saint-Riquier on 1 January 798. Sainte-Marthe, Gallia christiana X, p. 1157. Philippus Jaffe, ed. (1867).

Gerwinus was born at Laon, and became a monk at Saint-Remy (Reims). When his uncle Gerwinus, who was Abbot of Saint-Riquier (Amiens) resigned, Gerwinus was chosen to replace him. He traveled to Rome, where his election as Bishop of Amiens was confirmed by Pope Urban II in a letter of 21 December 1091. He was denounced to Pope Urban II as a simoniac at the Council of Reims in 1293, and documents from the Council were carried to Italy by Hariulf, the author of the Chronicle of Riquier. In a letter of July 18, 1093, Pope Urban advised the clergy and people of Amiens that Gerwin had been found innocent of the charges against him. He attended the Councils of Soissons and that of Reims (1094), and was present at Urban II's Council of Chalons in 1095. The monks of Saint-Riquier managed to convince the Pope of all the charges against Gerwinus, and Pope Urban required him to resign the position of Abbot of Riquier. He died in January or February of 1101. Hariulf d'Oudenbourg (1894). Chronique de l'abbaye de Saint-Riquier: Ve siècle-1104 (in French and Latin). Paris: A. Picard et fils. pp. vi, 279, note 1.
