"For C. Settipani (1991), Ruricius is the great-grandson of (Pontius) and (Anicia), daughter of Q. Clodius Hermogenianus Olybrius, cos. 379.
For Stan Mommaerts and Dave Kelley (1992), Ruricius is a son of N, a proconsul of Africa, a son of Petronius Maximus, emp. 455, son of Anicius Probinus, cos. 395.
For Ralph Mathisen (1999), Ruricius is the son of (Constantius) and (Leontia). His paternel grandfather would be Flavius Constantius Felix, cos. 428." [1]

"Mathison says that Bishop Ruricius of Limoges may have had land in or near Cahors; and also that the wife and sister of Sidonius Apollinaris' son, Apollinaris, fled there after some act of political indiscretion in the time of King Theuderic I - suggesting that perhaps they, (the Apollinari/Aviti), too, had property there. And Mathieson relates a legend concerning Bishop Sacerdos of Limoges that may demonstate a tie of Sidonius Apollinaris' brother-in-law, Ecdicius, son of emperor Avitus, to the Cahors area".[2]

I have removed a source that merely stated something like: Person X, a speculation. That is an improper source because a source needs a method by which, a random person can verify what it says. Without a FULL bibliographic citation, no person can verify the source I removed. If you wish to re-add the source please provide a full citation so it can be checked. Thanks.
