Everything about Robert De Sorbon totally explained
Robert de Sorbon (
October 9,
1201 –
August 15,
1274) was a
French theologian and founder of the
Sorbonne college in
Paris.
Born into a poor family in
Sorbon, in what is now the
Ardennes département, Robert de Sorbon entered the Church and was educated in
Reims and Paris. He was noted for his piety and attracted the patronage of the
Comte d'Artois and King
Louis IX of France, known as Saint Louis. He became the
canon of
Cambrai around 1251 before being appointed canon of Paris and the king's
confessor in 1258.
Sorbon began to teach around 1253 and in 1257 established the
Maison de Sorbonne, a college in Paris originally intended to teach theology to twenty poor students. It was sponsored by King Louis and received the endorsement of
Pope Alexander IV in 1259. It subsequently grew into a major centre of learning and became the core of what would become the
University of Paris. Sorbon served as chancellor of the university, taught and preached there from 1258 until his death in 1274.
