NOR'BERT, a faint in the Roman calendar, and 
founder of the Prsmortre order of Auguftinian monks, 
was defeended,. on his father’s and mother’s fide, from 
Vol. XVII. No. 1x67. 
Come of the mod illuftrious families of Germany, and 
born at Santen, a village belonging to the duchy of 
Cleves, in the year 1082. He was educated in the palace 
of Frederic archbiftiop of Cologne; and was afterwards 
called to the court of the emperor Henry V. to whom he 
was related. Having made choice of the ecclefiaftical life, 
he received deacon’s and prieft’s orders in the fame day ; 
and was made a canon of his native place, as well as pro¬ 
moted to feveral other benefices. Afterwards the em¬ 
peror created him his almoner, and offered him the in- 
veftiture of the biftiopric of Cambray, which he refufed. 
He was diftinguiOied by a pleafing perfon, agreeable man¬ 
ners, wit, and vivacity, which rendered his company 
much fought after; and, from frequently mixing with 
the gay and diffipated courtiers, he was inlenfibly cor¬ 
rupted by their bad example, and difgraced his profellioii 
by partaking in their irregularities and vices. Being 
feized, however, with compun6tion, he had the fortitude 
to divorce himfelf from his feducing connections; re- 
figned his different preferments; fold his patrimony, and 
diftributecl the proceeds among the poor. He now zea- 
loufly devoted himfelf to the office of preaching; wan¬ 
dering about from city to city, and from country to coun¬ 
try, for the purpofe of combating heretics, and reforming 
the vicious and profligate. Having in the courfe of his 
rambles arrived at Laon in Picardy, Bartholomew, bifhop 
of that fee, to whom he had been formerly known, be¬ 
llowed on him a fequeftered dale, named Premontre, to 
which he retired in tiie year 1120, and there founded an 
inftitution of canons-regular, which took its title from 
the name of the fecluded fpot. Hither he attracted vail 
crowds by the popularity of his fermons, and gained 
many difciples, who fubmitted to his code of difeipline, 
formed on the refolutions of St. Auguftine, with the fe- 
vere inj undlion of perpetual lilence, and permiffion to 
have only one frugal meal each day. This order was con¬ 
firmed, in 1126, by pope Honorius II. Soon afterwards 
Norbert fucceeded in founding eight other monafteries, 
which adopted his difeipline. In the mean time he was 
fent for to Antwerp, to combat a fanatic of the name of 
Tanchelin, who, if we are to believe his enemies, under 
the pretence of introducing reformation into the church, 
gave full fcope to the indulgence of his ambition and fen- 
fiuality. In the year 1127, having taken a journey into 
Germany, the people and clergy of Magdeburg, by their 
importunity, prevailed upon him to accept of the arch- 
bifliopric of their city. In the year 1131-, he was prefent 
at the council of Rheims, which confirmed the eleilion 
of pope Innocent II. and he accompanied the emperor 
Lotharius to Rome, when he advanced with an army to 
expel from the feat of papal government Anacletus II. 
the rival of that pontiff. He died at Magdeburg in 1134, 
when only fifty-two years of age. Pope Gregory XIII. 
placed him in. the catalogue of faints in the year 1584. 
None of his writings are extant, excepting a fhort moral 
difeourfe, in the form of an exhortation to the monks of 
his order, which may be feen in the tvventy-firft volume 
of the Bibl. Patr.. Caves's Hijl. Lit. vol. ii. 
NOR'BERT, a capuchin friar, famous for his adven¬ 
tures and his hollility to the Jefuits, was the fon of a 
.weaver at Bar-le-Duc, of the name of Parifot, where he 
.was born in the year 1697. He embraced the monadic 
life at the abbey of St. Michael in the year 1716; and in 
1734, when the provincial went to Rome, to affift at the 
election of a general of the order, he was felefted to ac¬ 
company him in the capacity of fecretary. In this em¬ 
ployment he acquitted himfelf with fuch ability, that he 
attracted the notice and fecured the favour of forme of the 
cardinals, who obtained for him the pod of attorney- 
general of the foreign millions. In the year 1736, we find 
him at Pondicherry in the Eaft Indies, where he was well 
received by M. Dupleix the governor,.who made him 
parilh-priell of that city. Here he quarrelled with the 
Jefuits, by whofe intrigues he was deprived of that living 
upon which he removed from the Eaft Indies to America.
