Saint Francis of Assisi, also known as Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone, is a popular Christian (Catholic, Lutheran, and Anglican) saint, credited with founding the Franciscans. Saint Francis lived in the Roman Empire in the late 12th, early 13th centuries and played a large role in creating Christian customs.
