  Life

• The claim that he was nominated Archbishop of Armagh by Pope Innocent III; he certainly never became archbishop.
• He is said to have been created cardinal by Pope Gregory IX with the title of St. Stephen on the Caelian Hill; his name is not found in the lists of cardinals compiled by de Mas Latrie, or the researches of Conrad Eubel.
• That he was a doctor of Oxford, Cambridge, and Paris is intrinsically impossible, at least so far as Cambridge is concerned.
