St Clement of Ireland was born in 750 AD in Ireland. Clement and his companion Ailbe, arrived in Gaul in 772 AD and opened a shop as teachers. Their fame spread all over and Charlemagne sent for them to be brought to his court, where they stayed for several months.
Ailbe was then given the direction of a monastery near Pavia, Italy. St Clement stayed in France as regent of the Paris school from 775 AD till his death. It is said that Clement established the University of Paris, which in a metaphorical sense he did since he started a great tradition of learning in the city.
