Note 45 — Chapter I · THE CHURCH. (continued 2)

From “La Gesta de Fra Peyre Cardinal,” Raynouard, Lexique Roman, I. 464. See also pp. 446, 451. Cardinal was of noble birth and high consideration at the courts of Aragon and Toulouse; he was born in 1206, and is said to have lived until 1306. He was no heretic, although “los fals clerques reprendia molt.”—(Miquel de la Tor, Vie de Peire Cardinal, ap. Meyer, Anciens Textes p. 100.)—See also his Sirvente, “Un sirventes vuelh for dels autz glotos” (Raynouard, Lexique Roman, I. 447).
