Biography

Peter II (c. 1050–1115) was Bishop of Poitiers from 1087 until his death. He implemented the Gregorian Reform. A close associate of Robert of Arbrissel, he helped him found the Abbey of Fontevraud. He was arrested by the Duke of Aquitaine, whom he had excommunicated, and exiled to the Château de Chauvigny, where he died. He is venerated as a saint by the Catholic Church, with his feast day on April 4.
