Feast 27 May Name Frederick Liege | ||
Venerated in Roman Catholic Church | ||
Frederick was Bishop of Liege, succeeding Bishop Alexander (who was forced to stand down after being charged with acts of simony, 1119). As a result, the newly appointed Bishop Frederick suffered open animosity from Alexander’s supporters. It is believed that Frederick was poisoned by the count of Louvain, and suffered death in 1121.
