Raymond of Capua (1330 – 1399) was a leading member of the Dominican Order and served as its Master General from 1380 until his death. He was born in Capua, a member of a well-known family of that city. In 1350, while a student of law at the University of Bologna, he entered the Dominican Order. He was assigned to be the spiritual director to Saint Catherine of Siena in 1376, and eventually became her friend and closest advisor. His writings include two biographies of St. Catherine of Siena and St. Agnes of Montepulciano.
