ADHEMAR OF LE PUY. - Bishop of Le Puy, born in the first half of the 11th century. He was first a knight, then entered the clergy and around 1061 became bishop of Le Puy. He took part in the Council of Clermont and was appointed by Urban II as apostolic legate to the First Crusade. He set out for the Holy Land with the army commanded by Raymond, count of Toulouse. He took part in many expeditions and sought in every way to preserve the religious character of the crusade and to keep it on the road to the Holy Sepulchre. He died of plague at Antioch on 1 August 1098. Alberic of Trois-Fontaines attributed the Salve Regina to him (MGH, Scriptores, XXIII, p. 828). Tasso includes him in the Gerusalemme Liberata, Cantos I, II, XVIII.
