Biography

孟元,洺州人。
宋史卷三百二十三 列传第八十二:
  孟元,字善长,洺州人。性谨愿少过,颇喜读书。少隶禁军,以挽强选补殿侍,累迁散都头班指挥使,擢如京使、并代州兵马都监,改钤辖,徙高阳关路,又徙真定路。
  王则据贝州反,元赴城下攻战,被数十创,又中机石,坠濠中。既出,战愈力。更募死士由永济渠穴地以进。贼平,改右骐骥使,徙大名府路钤辖。河朔饥,权知沧州。民鬻盐为生,岁荒盐多不售,民无以自给。元度军食有余,悉用易盐,繇是民不转徙。
  御史中丞郭劝言其贝州功而赏未当,乃擢普州刺史,迁宫苑使,专管勾麟府军马事。护筑永宁堡,敌不敢动。为龙神卫四厢都指挥使、忠州团练使、高阳关马步军总管,迁天武、捧日四厢都指挥使,又迁步军都虞候、眉州防御使、并代路副都总管。判北京贾昌朝奏为大名府路副都总管,徙定州路,迁马军都虞候,徙鄜延路,行至郑州卒,赠遂州观察使。
