Saint Ivo of Chartres (also Ives, Yves, or Yvo; (ラテン語:Ivonis Carnutensis)) ( 1040 – 23 December 1115) was the Bishop of Chartres, France from 1090 until his death, and an important canonist during the Investiture Crisis. Ivo is claimed to have studied at the Abbey of Bec in Normandy under Lanfranc of Canterbury, where he would have met St. Anselm of Canterbury, the great scholastic theologian. In 1067 or not much later, he became, at the desire of his bishop, prior of the canons of Saint-Quentin at Beauvais. As Bishop of Chartres and a canonist he contended strongly against simony and opposed King Philip I of France's repudiation of his wife Bertha of Holland in order to marry Bertrade of Anjou in 1092. Ivo was briefly imprisoned for this opposition. Three extensive canonical works, namely ''Tripartita'', ''Decretum'', and ''Panormia'', are attributed to him. He corresponded extensively. His liturgical feast has been kept since 1570 on 20 or 23 May, and it is observed on 23 May. It is not known whether or when he was canonized. ==Life== Ivo of Chartres was born in Beauvais, France to a non-noble family in or near Chartres circa 1040. He is claimed to have studied first in Paris, then in Abbey of Bec in Normandy where, according to the often unreliable Robert of Torigni, he studied under Lanfranc along with St. Anselm of Canterbury. Not much is known of him until some time after he was admitted to the Roman Catholic clergy: in 1067 his bishop asked him to become the prior of the canons at the Augustinian house of St. Quentin at Beauvais. From there he quickly established himself as one of the best teachers in France. His knowledge of canon law, both as a lawyer and cleric, most probably earned him in 1090 the office of Bishop of Chartres, France. His predecessor had either been removed from office or resigned it after a scandal of simony. There are some discrepancies as to who Ivo's predecessor and successor were because different sources suggest that both were the same Geoffrey of Chartres, and it is only known that Pope Urban II recommended Ivo for this episcopacy because of Ivo's knowledge of canon law. In light of the events preceding his appointment to the office, his strong opposition to the practice of simony may have been the impetus to his episcopal elevation. His strong faith, piety, and principles led to some troubles for him during his twenty-five year episcopacy at Chartres. Circa 1092, King Philip I of France was married to Bertha of Holland, but wished to be rid of her so he could marry Bertrade of Anjou. Upholding the sanctity of marriage, Ivo advocated against this to such a degree that he was incarcerated for a short time. The Gregorian reforms were not well realized until Ivo's episcopacy. He was an acquaintance of Countess Adele of Blois, who helped him reform the Abbey of St. Jean-en-Vallée. In addition, on several occasions he defended her decisions, most notably during the events regarding Rotrou III of Perche, when he refused to assert ecclesiastical sanctions against him. During his episcopacy he wrote the majority of his extant works, for which he later became famous and considered among the greatest scholars of the mediaeval era. Salutati recognized him as an eloquent writer despite his affirmation that all the literature outside of Italy lacked eloquence. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ivo of Chartres」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
