Francis of Assisi, born in the late 12th century to a successful silk merchant, lived the life of a typical rich young man. He was handsome, delighted in fine clothes and spent money lavishly, but he was disillusioned by that lifestyle and turned his back on it at a young age to live a life devoted to the church, the poor and in harmony with nature.
