Hospito

Hospito ("Ospitone") was a Christian chief of Barbagia ("dux Barbaricinorum") in Sardinia 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 Barbagia ("Barbaricini") were still pagans "living, all like irrational animals, ignorant of the truth of God and worshiping wood and stone."
Hospito confirmed a peace with the Byzantine "dux" Zabardas and consented to allow the missionaries Felix and Ciriaco to penetrate Barbagia.
