Raynald was a Benedictine monk and Bishop of Nocera Umbra. Born around 1150, in the village of Postignano, near Nocera Umbra, Italy, to parents of German descent. [1]

He entered the monastery of Santa Maria di Vallemergo in 1199, that belonged to the Benedictine congregation of Fonte Avellana, along with Trasimundus, the future bishop of Senigallia. [2] He was elected prior of the monastery of Santa Croce di Fonte Avellana, though the date is unknown. On 7 February 1218, the monastery was taken under the protection of the Holy See by Pope Honorius III, renewing the privilege granted by Pope Innocent II in 1139. [3] In 1218, Raynald accompanied the bishops Gerard of Ancona and Trasimundus of Senigallia to Fano, to negotiate the release of the imprisoned bishop Riccardo. [4] In September 1218, Raynald visited the monastery of Santa Esuperanzio in Cingoli, where he acted as witness to a grant to the monastery. He then visited Senigallia and finally returned to his monastery at Fonte Avellano. [5]

Raynald was appointed Bishop of Nocera Umbra in 1213. [6] He was a close friend of Francis of Assisi and one of the seven bishops who consecrated the Portiuncula at Assisi, and proclaimed the Portiuncula indulgence. [7] Raynald served as Bishop of Nocera until his death in 1217. [8]
