An Augustinian, he studied at Paris and under Lanfranc at Bec, about 1078, became provost of the canons regular of St. Quentin, as Beauvais, France and in 1091 became bishop of Chartres.

Sant'Ivo di Chartres NON era Agostiniano....ma CANONICO REGOLARE!!!!
This article has confused and combined 2 different people, notably illustrated by 2 different sets of life dates: 1253-1303, but inlcuding life event dates in 1078, 1091 & 1092. I think Ivo/Yves of Kermartin and Ivo/Yves of Chartres are these 2 different people.
