KILWARDBY, ROBERT (d. 1279) , archbishop of Canterbury and cardinal, studied at the university of Paris, where he soon became famous as a teacher of grammar and logic. Afterwards joining the order of St Dominic and turning his attention to theology, he was chosen provincial prior of his order in England in 1261, and in October 1272
Pope
  Gregory X. terminated a dispute over the vacant archbishopric of Canterbury by appointing Kilwardby. Although the new archbishop crowned
Edward
  I. and his queen Eleanor in August 1274, he took little
part
  in business of state, but was energetic in discharging the spiritual duties of his office. He was charitable to the poor, and showed liberality to the
Dominicans
 . In 1278
Pope
  Nicholas III. made him cardinal-
bishop
  of
Porto
  and Santa Rufina; he resigned his archbishopric and left England, carrying with him the registers and other valuable property belonging to the see of Canterbury. He died in Italy on the 11th of September 1279. Kilwardby was the first member of a mendicant order to attain a high position in the
English
 
Church
 . Among his numerous writings, which became very popular among students, are De ortu scientiarum, De tempore, De Universali, and some commentaries on
Aristotle
 .
See N. Trevet, Annales sex regum Angliae, edited by T. Hog (London, 1845) ; W. F. Hook, Lives of the Archbishops of Canterbury, vol. iii. (London, 186o-1876); J. Quetif and J. Echard, Scriptores ordinis Predicatorum (Paris, 1719-1721).
