He was one of the "Episcopi vagantes" in Latin which translates as
"wandering bishops" though the imp in me has tried to promote "vagrant
bishops" as the preferred term. Basically this occurs where the Catholic
line of Apostolic succession passes outside the control of the Papacy.
Sometimes it is picked up by groupings who are Christian but have
political or doctrinal differences with the main churches but ordination
lineages have also been picked up by occultists, notably in Theosophical
and Thelemic scenes.
My best wishes
