  • Abbaye D'hambye – LONG Monday 4Th June 2012 1
    Abbaye d’Hambye – LONG Monday 4th June 2012 Abbaye de Hambeye Getting 5 routes that are different, from a coastal location isn’t easy. On Friday this route is partially repeated and will take in the Abbaye de Hambye and the cider farm (in addition to Mont Robin) therefore you can make a choice which one to stop at on each day. I would suggest that you visit the Cider farm on Friday. The reason is simply that the owner simply can’t accommodate all of us today and as the short ride is going there today this will be a tremendous help. A day of two Abbeys. Close to the campsite is the rebuilt Abbaye de la Lucerne. The ride takes you straight there (the short ride takes a loop). After this the ride heads across country to the ruined Abbaye de Hambeye. According to the Michelin Guide this is one of the must see sites in this area. The route returns via the cider farm and they are expecting us for a guided tour and tasting. Distance 68km / 42.5 miles Places of Interest 1) Abbeye de la Lucerne http://www.abbaye-lucerne.fr/ La Lucerne Abbey (Abbaye Sainte-Trinité de La Lucerne[1]) is a Premonstratensian monastery situated in the forests of the Thar valley in the Manche department, near the commune of La Lucerne-d'Outremer, in France. The abbey was founded in 1143 by Hasculf de Subligny, son of Othoerne, the tutor of William Adelin, both of whom perished in the White Ship disaster of 1120, and later had the support of the English crown.

Despite being present at a number of significant engagements, it has been overlooked by historians. Many assumptions have been made about armoured reconnaissance, including a belief that reconnaissance regiments were mostly or entirely support units, rather than combat units. This study aims to show that the 7th played an important role in the combat operations of 3rd Division in Northwest Europe.

Tillits, Ph.D. Dean, College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences iii ABSTRACT Poison, Power, and Perception: A Biography of Mabel of Bellême (1030-1082) This dissertation is a biography of an eleventh-century Norman noblewoman named Mabel of Bellême. This study tells how the first lords of Bellême came to power in the ninth century, rose to be masters of the southern and western frontier of Normandy, and how implausible stories about Mabel came to be included in Orderic Vitalis’s twelfth century history of the Norman church. My thesis is that Mabel relied upon the Bellême power initially created in the ninth century by her great-grandfather, Yves, and consolidated Bellême force with Montgomery influence through marriage in c.1050. The Bellême process of fortifying the Norman frontier resulted from the construction of fortresses and churches that maximized influence over the fluid and ill-defined border region. These efforts not only made the region defensible but enabled Mabel and her family to isolate and take control of lands and fortifications held by adversaries along the frontier.
