About Riccus
Lived 1101 – 1201 (aged 99–100). Riccus was a catholic priest.
Riccus or Ricco was the Archbishop of Cagliari in the early thirteenth century.
In 1206, he requested the right to resign from Pope Innocent III, who simply enumerated the justifications for archiepiscopal resignation and left the decision up to Riccus. He also did not intervene on the pope's behalf when Elena of Gallura, a ward of the pope, wed Lamberto di Eldizio without papal consent. For this, he received a stiff reprimand from Innocent.
