Ramihrdus
Ramihrdus († 1076 or 1077 ) was a lay person from the Lambres area who was accused of heresy and burned.
The Chronicle of St. Andrew in Cambrai reports that Ramihrdus caught the attention of the local bishop for spreading unorthodox teachings. Ramihrdus was summoned to a spiritual meeting, but it was not offended by his teachings. When he then refused to receive the Lord's Supper from the hand of one of the clergymen present and accused them of simony , he was taken to a hut and burned with it.
In a letter of March 25, 1077, Pope Gregory VII wrote to the Bishop of Paris , Gottfried von Boulogne , to investigate the matter of Ramihrdus and to excommunicate those responsible for his cremation . Bishop Gerhard II of Cambrai then had to answer at a synod for simony and the burning of Ramihrdus.
