Andrew of Florence

Saint Andrew was Bishop of Florence in the ninth century and died around the year 900. He is honoured as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church and is commemorated on 26 February.

Little is known from the documents of the time. On 18 December 871 he was an imperial envoy at the judgment of the margrave Adalbert. In 874 he received from the emperor Louis II the privilege of immunity for the goods of the bishopric.

On 1 March 893 it is recorded that his envoys brought his niece Bertha to Bertha, abbess of the abbey of Sant'Andrea, to be educated so that she might succeed the abbess at the head of the abbey. We have no further details, and no Orthodox act of canonization is known.
