Richard (4)
Richard
A Friar minor and preacher, appearing in history between 1428 and 1431, whose origin and nationality are unknown. He is sometimes called the disciple of St. Bernardine of Sienna and of St. Vincent Ferrer, but probably only because, like the former, he promoted the veneration of the Holy Name of Jesus and, like the latter, announced the end of the world as near. In 1428 Richard came from the Holy Land to France, preached at Troyes, next year in Paris during ten days (16-26 April) every morning from about five o’clock to ten or eleven. He had such a sway over his numerous auditors that after his sermons the men burned their dice, and the women their vanities. Having been threatened by the Faculty of Theology on account of his doctrine — perhaps, also, because he was believed to favour Charles VII, King of France, whilst Paris was then in the hands of the English — he left Paris suddenly and betook himself to Orléans and Troyes. In the latter town he first met Bl. Joan of Arc. Having contributed much to the submission of Troyes to Charles VII, Richard now followed the French army and became confessor and chaplain to Bl. Joan. Some differences, however, arose between the two on account of Catherine de la Rochelle, who was protected by the friar, but scorned by Joan. Richard’s name figures also in the proceedings against Bl. Joan of Arc in 1431; in the same year he preached the Lent in Orléans and shortly after was interdicted from preaching by the inquisitor of Poitiers. No trace of him is found after this.

Richard
archbishop of Canterbury, was by birth a Norman. Very little is known of his early life. When the primary education of Richard was finished he was received into the monastery of Christ Church, Canterbury, and his manner being noticed by archbishop Theobald, he selected him to be one of his chaplains. Richard’s first preferment was to the place of prior, in the monastery of St. Martin, Dover, in 1140. He was consecrated to the see of Canterbury, April 7, 1174, at Anagni, and “a more amiable man than archbishop Richard never sat in the chair of Augustine.” In 1176 he was sent to Normandy, to arrange a marriage between the princess Joanna and William, king of Sicily. Ten years after he was seized with a violent chill when making a journey to Rochester, and died while there, February 16, 1184. See Hook, Lives of the Archbishops of Canterbury, 2:508 sq.
