Saint Peter Regalatus, 1390-1456, Peter Regalado

    Born in Valladolid, Spain, he joined the Franciscans at Valladolid at age 13. Noted reformed at several friaries, which he did primarily by setting a good and pious example.

    Peter lived at a very busy time. The Great Western Schism (1378-1417) was settled at the Council of Constance (1414-1418). France and England were fighting the Hundred Years’ War, and in 1453 the Byzantine Empire was completely wiped out by the loss of Constantinople to the Turks. At Peter’s death the age of printing had just begun in Germany, and Columbus's arrival in the New World was less than 40 years away.

    He became part of a group of friars who wanted to lead a life of greater poverty and penance. In 1442 he was appointed head of all the Spanish Franciscans in his reform group.
