St. Peter Regulatus
Feastday: March 30
1390 - 1456
Also Peter Regalado, Franciscan reformer. Peter was born at Valladolid, Spain, to a noble family, and entered the Franciscan Order
in his native city at the age of thirteen. After several years, he
transferred to a far more austere monastery at Tribulos, where he became
known for his severe asceticism
as well as his abilities to levitate and enter into ecstasies. A
success as abbot, he gave himself over to bringing needed reforms to the
monastery and to promoting reforms in other Franciscan houses. For his zeal in adhering to the rules of the community he was designated Regulatus.
