## Life

An English hermit — in a hollow tree trunk, the old accounts say — who joined the Carmelites newly arrived from the Holy Land and as general steered the order into the universities and cities of Europe. Carmelite tradition holds that the Virgin gave him the brown scapular, pledge of her protection.
