Born in 1079, the school that he founded evolved into the University of Paris. The main thrust of his philosophy was that the power of human thinking or reason could achieve true knowledge in the natural and supernatural spheres.

After separating to take up monastic life, the couple exchanged a series of notable love letters. FTP, name this husband of HŽlo•se (hell-oh-ease).
