I'm plumping for the female St. Austreberta of Pavilly (10. February), widely venerated in Normandy. According to the AA.SS., she had what appears to have been a Translation feast on 19. or 20. October.
The only male St. Austrebert I'm aware of is an eighth-century bp. of Vienne (5. June). His having assisted St. Boniface in the latter's evangelizing in Germany seems unlikely to vault him into contention for this late medieval commemoration at York.
Best,
John Dillon
