Excerpt from The Register of Adam De Orleton, Bishop of Hereford (A. D. 1317-1327)These considerations stated, we must leave open the question whether Adam de Orleton was born at Orleton, or in Hereford itself - whether Leland's statement is literally correct, or whether, perhaps, it is to be taken in a general sense, as implying that Adam de Orleton was Bishop in his native county or diocese. It is highly probable in any case, from his close connection with the Mortimers. And his life-long devotion to their house, that one of the Mortimer family' was the boy's patron in early years. If born in Hereford, the young Adam would have obtained the rudiments of learning in the school attached to the Cathedral. Thence, with some assistance from his patron, he would pass to Oxford, and, later on, to Paris or Orleans. We may hope that the help of Mortimer, and his own shrewdness and ability, saved the young scholar from the necessity of joining those bands of needy students who used to go in procession through the streets of Paris, crying Pain por Dieu aus escoliers.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
