Wrote a chronicle of the Abbey of Bloemhof in Wittewierum in which he seems to attribute the Summa ‘Elegantius de iure diuino’ to Bertram of Metz. He studied in Paris, Orleans, and Oxford with his brother, Addo. At Oxford (c.1200), they also studied law, copying ‘decreta, decretales, Librum pauperum et alios libros canonici iuris et legalis.’
