1890. Jacques de Vitry studied theology at Paris and was ordained
as a priest. He preached first in favor of the crusade against the
Albigenses. The following year he led a large army of crusaders to
the siege of Toulouse. He next preached a crusade against the
Saracens. He was then elected bishop of Acre, approved by the Pope
and consecrated. Later he again played a prominent role in the
crusade; wrote his well known historical work; resigned his
bishopric, and devoted himself again to preaching the crusade
against the Albigenses; was made a cardinal, and bishop of
Tusculum; and finally, was elected patriarch of Jerusalem. His
exempla in the sermones vulgares, ad status or ad omne hominum
genus, have been edited with great learning by Thomas Frederick
Crane, and is considered the best work on the subject.
