Guillaume de Bray (born at Bray in the Ile-de-France, date unknown; died in Orvieto, 29 April 1282) was a French ecclesiastic and Roman Catholic Cardinal, poet, and mathematician.[1]
It is claimed Guillaume was Master of Theology,[2] but the Cardinal's tombstone indicates that he was learned in Canon and Civil Law.[3] There is no reference to him ever having been a Papal Legate, a Nuncio, or a provincial Rector (governor).[citation needed] So far as it is known, his career as a cardinal was entirely inside the Roman Curia.[citation needed]
His earliest known office was that of Archdeacon of the Church of Reims. He was already Archdeacon when he appears as Dean of the Cathedral of Laon (ca. 1250-1262).[4]
