Oliver was trained in Paris and became head of the cathedral school in Cologne in 1203. In 1207, he began a career preaching for crusade, first for the Albigensian and later for the Fifth. His History of Damietta contains another anecdote linking the events of the Fifth Crusade with the legend of Prester John.

Trained at the Beneditine abbey of Saint-Martial in Limoges, Geoffroy composed his Chroniques which trace the major European events from 994-1184, including much crusading history. His treatment of the Cathar belief helps him become the first writer to use the term Albigensian.
