The name Ricardus Anglicus, in the context of the middle ages, is ambiguous, because it is merely the Latin for "Richard from England".
Ricardus Anglicus, cleric and medical doctor, wrote a compendium of medicine, entitled Micrologus, while at the University of Montpellier, on the instructions of Lancelinus de l'Isle-Adam, who was deacon of Beauvais from 1178 to 1190.
These tend to be collections of practical instructions, derived from literature, rather than the theoretical texts found in later medical scholarship, influenced by Avicenna.
The author of the Micrologus was well-travelled; he mentions time spent in Bologna (though the text may refer to Poland), Montpellier, and Spoleto.
Gilbertus Anglicus, also an English author of medical texts, admired him greatly, describing him as the most learned and experienced of all doctors.
