or Yves (St), a celebrated bishop of Chartres, born in the territory of Beauvais in the 11th century. His merit procured his election to the see of Chartres in 1092, or 1093, under the pontificate of Urban II. who had deposed Geoffroy his predecessor for sundry accusations against him. Ives particularly signalized himself by his zeal against Philip I., who had put away his wife Bertha of Holland, and had taken Bertrade of Montford, wife of Fouques count of Anjou. Afterward he devoted himself wholly to the functions of his ministry; made several religious foundations; and died in 1115. Pope Pius V. permitted the monks of the congregation of Lateran to celebrate the festival of St Ives on the 20th of May. We have a collection of decrees of his compiling, Exeptiones ecclesiasticarum regularum, a Chronicon, and 22 sermons; all very valuable pieces, which were collected and published in one volume folio in 1647, by John Baptist Souciet, canon of Chartres.

Ives (St), a sea port town of Cornwall, in England, seated on a bay of the same name; which being unsafe, it is chiefly frequented by fishermen, for the taking of pilchards. By this trade, however, and that of Cornish slates, it has thriven greatly, and 20 or 30 sail of ships belongs to its harbour. It is a corporation, governed by a mayor, 12 capital and 24 inferior burgesses, with a recorder, town clerk, &c. and it sends two members to parliament. Here is a handsome spacious church, which is often buffeted by the waves of the sea; but the mother church is at Unilalant. There is a grammar-school here, which was founded by Charles I. It has two markets in the week, and an annual fair.

Ives (St), is also the name of a town in Huntingdonshire, 64 miles from London. It has a fine stone bridge over the Ouse, had in the ninth century a mint, and was noted for its medicinal waters. Great part of it was burnt down some years ago, but it was rebuilt. Here is a very good market on Monday for fatted cattle brought from the north; and there are two fairs in the year. Here Oliver Cromwell rented a farm before he was chosen a burgess for Cambridge.
