Landericus of Novalesa

Venerable Landericus of Novalesa was a monk of Novalesa Abbey, in the Alpine borderland between Italy and Savoy. According to the tradition, he was drowned by evildoers in the River Arc around the year 1050; even the calendar that gives this date marks it with a question mark.

He is not to be confused with Saint Landericus, Bishop of Paris in the seventh century, who is remembered on the same day. Landericus of Novalesa is a saint of the undivided Church, commemorated on 10 June (new style, Western calendar).
