Why did Saint Francis of Assisi never become a priest?

Francis has left no writings as to why he did not become a priest. Perhaps he felt he had much more freedom to carry out his ministry by "free lancing" and not being tied down to a specific parish or regimen he would have to follow as a priest. Francis was a true 'free spirit." Another thing to remember is that it takes considerable money to obtain the education to become a priest and Francis had "disowned" his own wealthy father and rejected any inheritance he might have received from him to live a life of poverty. He was, however, ordained as a deacon shortly before he died.
