Saint Frederick of Utrecht

Federico, born around 781 and died on the Isle of Walcheren on 18 July 838, was bishop of the diocese of Utrecht from the year 820 until the date of his death.

As soon as he was ordained a priest, he was immediately in charge of educating the catechumens and was appointed bishop continuing the episcopate of Ricfrido, taking care of completing the work of evangelization of the Frisi, for which he gave a mandate, as a collaborator, in Sant'Odulfo, he who was later his biographer, also assumed the role of adviser to the emperor Ludovico il Pio.

A popular legend says that he was killed, while he was celebrating mass, by the assassins sent by the empress Judith of Bavaria, Ludovico's second wife, whose Federico had publicly condemned the controversial customs.

Another story, the most credited, tells that he was assassinated by the pagans of the island of Walcheren, in the Netherlands, as opposed to his mission, for this reason he is revered as a martyr by the Catholic Church.
