Family and early career
Bordes was born in Gascony. His family was not aristocratic in origin, as is evident from the fact that King Philip IV raised his brother Pierre to the lordship of the ville of Launac (diocese of Toulouse) in June 1311. Another brother, Guillaume, became Precentor of the Cathedral Chapter of Lectoure, and then, in 1311 Bishop of Lectoure.

Bertrand was made a Canon of the Cathedral Chapter ofLectoure
