At the same time there flourished Master Giles, a great doctor of the Augustinian order, who was afterwards made archbishop of Bourges by Pope Boniface V. He died at Avillois while the Roman curia was residing there under Pope John XXII, in the year of our Lord 1316, on the kalends of January, and was buried at Paris among the brothers of his own order.
