Saint Richard of Wyche, born around 1197 in Worcestershire, England, was a humble scholar who rose to become Bishop of Chichester and a beloved medieval saint. Orphaned young, he worked the family farm before studying at Oxford, Paris, and Bologna, earning a law doctorate. Appointed chancellor to Archbishop Edmund Rich, he embraced priesthood after Edmund’s death, ordained in 1243. Consecrated Bishop of Chichester in 1244 despite King Henry III’s opposition, Richard faced exile in France but returned in 1247, tirelessly reforming his diocese with charity and discipline. He died on April 3, 1253, in Dover, exhausted from preaching a crusade, leaving a legacy of simplicity and devotion, notably in his prayer, “Thanks be to Thee, my Lord Jesus Christ.” | Saint Richard of Wyche, born around 1197 in Worcestershire, England, was a humble scholar who rose to become Bishop of Chichester and a beloved medieval saint.
