Biography/Description

Guilelmus studied canon law at Bologna under Bérengar de Frédol and obtained a doctorate in 1275. By 1286, hewas serving in the Roman curia as an apostolic notary. He became a papal chaplain in 1291. In 1295, Boniface VIII appointed him to the archbishopric of Embrun, as well as to the commission drafting the Liber sextus (1296). Guillelmus briefly transferred to the see of Aix (1311–12), until he was made cardinal bishop of Palestrina in.He died in December of 1321. Guillelmus was one of the editors of the Liber Sextus, wrote a tract on elections, and drafted the statutes for the abbey of Montmajour. He was thought to have written a Summa on the Liber Extra, but this has recently been discounted.
