Description
Excerpt from Robert Grosseteste, Bishop of Lincoln
The introduction Of the Friars was the providential remedy for existing social evils, and Grosseteste, as we have already observed, was not Slow to recognize it, and avail himself of their aid. Of the Franciscans, or Grey Friars, who came to England in 1219, Of the Dominicans, or Black Friars, introduced into England in 1221, of the Carmelites, or White Friars, whose arrival was in 1240, Grosseteste was the devoted friend, but chie?y Of the Franciscans.
Wherever he went he took some of them with him. In one of his epistles2 he begs Of the Minister General of the Franciscans that, as there are no such valuable assistants as the Friars Minor, two or four of them may be always with him.
