Shop Bl. Peter of Poitiers
Bishop of Poitiers. Not to be confused with the French theologian of the same name, Peter was named bishop in 1087 and distinguished himself for his willingness to stand firm against the counts of Poitou on issues of morality and proper conduct. He was quite outspoken in condemning the behavior of King Philip I and Count William IV Count William exiled Peter to the castle of Chauvigny in 1113 where the bishop died two years later. He was also a friend and patron of Blessed Robert d'Arbriselle, encouraging Robert in the founding of Fontevrault Abbey. While considered Blessed, Peter has technically never been beatified.
