Saint Patricia is an early saint about whom little is known and much is contradictory. She apparently appealed to Pope Liberius to be allowed to become a nun to escape a marriage arranged by Emperor Constans II and was granted her wish after which she distributed her personal wealth to the poor. Later, she attempted to go on pilgrimage to Jerusalem and, having poor luck in her life, ended up shipwrecked off Naples and died in an hermitage on the island of Megarides.
