From a small town in Northumberland, this English friar served as secretary to John Duns Scotus, with whom he collaborated, and whose thought his own writings (Disputed Questions) help to clarify. Lecturing at Paris in 1303, he also taught in Bologna and Naples, and was Franciscan Regent-Master at Oxford in the 1320s. He was named Bishop of Giovinazzo in Apulia shortly before his death.
