Agnellus, Bishop Of Ravenna
Agnellus (487 – 1 August 570) was a bishop of Ravenna in the Praetorian prefecture of Italy from 557 to his death. The main source about him is by ''Liber Pontificalis Ecclesiae Ravennatis'' by Andreas Agnellus.Martindale, Jones & Morris (1992), p. 30 Biography Agnellus was probably born in 487, based on the estimation of his age at the time of death. He was apparently born to a prominent family of Italian nobles, as he is recorded inheriting great wealth. He married and had a daughter. The death of his wife motivated him to become a priest. He was consecrated a deacon by Ecclesius of Ravenna (term 521–532). Agnellus became Bishop of Ravenna in 557. He held the title until his death on 1 August, 570. His term lasted 13 years. He was reportedly 83 years old at the time of death. A granddaughter of his was named as the heir to his estate.

Andreas Agnellus
Andreas Agnellus of Ravenna (c. 794/799 – after 846) was a historian of the bishops in his city. The date of his death is not recorded, although his history mentions the death of archbishop George of Ravenna in 846; Oswald Holder-Egger cites a papyrus charter dated to either 854 or 869 that contains the name of a priest named Andreas of the Church of Ravenna, but there is no evidence to connect him with Andreas Agnellus. Life and writings Though called Abbot, first of St. Mary of Blachernae, and, later, of St. Bartholomew, Andreas appears to have remained a secular priest, being probably only titular abbot of each abbey. He is best known as the author of the ''Liber Pontificalis Ecclesiae Ravennatis'' (LPR), an account of the occupants of his native church, compiled on the model of the '' Liber Pontificalis'', a compilation of the lives of the Popes of Rome. The work survives in two manuscripts: one in the Biblioteca Estense in Modena, written in 1413; the other is in the Vatican ...

Agnellus Of Pisa
Agnellus of Pisa, OFM (c. 1195 – 1236), was an Italian Franciscan friar. As its first Minister Provincial in England (1224–1236), he is considered the founder of the Franciscans in England. His feast day is variously observed on 7 May or 10 September. Life The only account of the life of Agnellus is a brief one recorded by Thomas of Eccleston, a Friar Minor. Angellus was born in Pisa in 1195 of the prominent Agnelli family. In early youth he was received into the Seraphic Order by Francis himself, in 1212, during the latter's sojourn in Pisa. Francis sent Agnellus, although but a deacon, to Paris, where he built a friary and became custos. He then returned to Italy, was present at the "Chapter of Mats", and thence was sent to establish the Order in England. On 10 September 1224 Agnellus and his party of eight friars, landed at Dover, courtesy of the monks of Fécamp Abbey, who kindly paid their way. When they arrived at Canterbury, they were hospitably received by the Do ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Daniel And Companions
Daniel and companions were seven Friars Minor martyred at Ceuta on 10 October 1227, according to the ''Chronicle of the Twenty-Four Generals of the Order of Friars Minor'' (). Their story is likely a legend or fabrication. The names of Daniel's companions are borrowed from the authentic account of the martyrdom of Berard of Carbio and his companions in 1220.Christopher MacEvitt, "The Franciscans", in Paul Middleton (ed.), ''The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Christian Martyrdom'' (John Wiley & Sons, 2020), pp. 365–380. According to MacEvitt, "it is most likely that the martyrs themselves never existed". Daniel and his companions are venerated as saints by the Catholic Church. Story The martyrdom of Berard of Carbio and his companions in 1219 had inflamed many of the religious of the Order of Friars Minor with the desire of preaching the gospel in non-Christian lands; and in 1227, the year following Francis of Assisi's death, six religious of Tuscany, Agnellus (Agnello), Samuel, ...
