3)Five interesting points about his childhood include:
St Francis was one of seven children born to Pietro di Bernardone (a rich cloth merchant) and Pica Bourlemont.
St Francis was originally called Giovanni di Bernadone (in honour of John the Baptist) in the the hope that he would become a religious leader, however, over his father's fury, he was renamed Francesco.
St Francis was Italian.
St Francis became a troubadour (composer and performer of Occitan lyric poetry) and he yearned to be a French poet.
There was a beggar that asked him for help, Francis ran after him and gave him everything in his pocket. His father scolded him in rage.
In 1201, he joined a miliatary expedition and later he was held as a prisoner for a year.
