Saint Roger of Cannae (1060 – December 30, 1129) was an Italian bishop. The Catholic Church honours him as a saint. ==Biography== Roger (in Italian: ''Ruggero di Canne'') was elected bishop of the town of Cannae, where a small diocese already had risen in the 10th century. In 1083 there was the destruction by Robert Guiscard, king of the Normans. Roger contributed to the moral and material reconstruction of the ancient city of Apulia, supporting his fellow citizens with the consolations of faith and the material aid. The ''Cannes Anonymous'', an ancient local biographical sources of the 14th century, reveals some aspects of the personality of Roger: "He was very gracious et zealous for the salvation of souls () his bishop-house was a pure ''hospiti''a that was always open to accommodate the pilgrims and poor" Some documents of that period show that the holy bishop was often consulted by popes Gelasius II and Paschal II to settle certain questions of law and quell the rivalry between churches and community. He died December 30, 1129.〔() Patron Saint Index〕 His relics were translated in the near city of Barletta, in 1276. His memorial is celebrated on 30 December, as reported by the Roman Martyrology. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roger of Cannae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
