Saint Anselm of Lucca the Younger (1036 – March 18, 1086) was an Italian bishop, a prominent figure in the Investiture Controversy and in the fighting in Central Italy between the forces of Countess Matilda of Tuscany, the papal champion, and those of Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor. He died in Mantua on March 18, 1086, and is regarded as the patron saint of that city. A life of Anselm was written by his successor, Bishop Rangerius.
