Blessed Guala de Roniis (1180 - 3 September 1244) was an Italian Roman Catholic Church priest and a professed member of the Order of Preachers as one of Saint Dominic's earliest disciples. De Roniis was born as a noble and was appointed as the Bishop of Brescia after Dominic's death though also served as a popular papal legate that earned him popular and papal support. He resigned from his episcopal see to dedicate the remainder of his life to peaceful solitude though his reputation for personal holiness prompted countless people to seek him out for his counsel.
