Priest.
Prior of the monastery of Rimini, Italy.

Bishop of Fossombrone, Italy in 1170.
Built the cathedral there.
Once when in bed with an illness, he was brought a cooked partridge; it happened to be a day of fasting, so Aldebrandus prayed over the cooked bird which returned to life and flew away.
