Saint Richard, bishop of Andria

Saint Richard is venerated as a bishop of Andria in Apulia, southern Italy, though reliable historical details of his life are scarce. Tradition holds that he was of English origin before coming to Italy to serve as bishop. He is honored as the patron saint of the city of Andria, where his relics are kept and venerated. Much of what is recounted about him comes from later medieval hagiographic tradition rather than contemporary records. He remains a figure of local devotion rather than one with an extensively documented biography.
