| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: ST. IVO (YVES) OF CHARTRES |
 | | He was then one of the best teachers in France, and so prepared himself to infuse a new life into the celebrated schools of Chartres, of which city he was appointed bishop in 1090, his predecessor, Geoffroy, having been deposed for simony. |
| | His episcopal government, at first opposed by the tenants of Geoffroy, ranged over a period of twenty-five years. |
| | This explains why he has been sometimes quoted as a patron of Gallican Liberties and looked upon by Flaccus Illyricus as one of the "witnesses to the truth" in his "Catalogus". |
