St. Isidore of Seville

Patron Saint of of the internet
Isidore’s father was probably of Roman origin. From Cartagena in Spain, he was connected to the Visigothic kings. Isidore’s much older brother was St. Leander, Bishop of Seville. Another brother, St. Fulgentium, was also a bishop, and his sister, St. Florentina, was the abbess of many convents.
It is probable that upon the death of his older brother, Isidore succeeded Leander in the diocese of Seville.
