Saint-Brieuc Main article: Duchy of Brittany. In the camp was closed and the French military decided to incorporate the remaining 19, Breton soldiers into the 2nd Army of the Loire. In Vannes , there was an unfavorable attitude towards the Revolution with only of the city's population of 12, accepting the new constitution. Prieur sought to implement the authority of the Convention by arresting suspected counter-revolutionaries, removing the local authorities of Brittany, and making speeches. The rulers of Domnonia such as Conomor sought to expand their territory including holdings in British Devon and Cornwall , claiming overlordship over all Bretons, though there was constant tension between local lords. It is therefore a strategic choice as a case study of some of the processes associated with the emergence of mass tourism, and the effects of this kind of tourism development on local populations. The first unified Duchy of Brittany was founded by Nominoe. This book was the world's first trilingual dictionary, the first Breton dictionary and also the first French dictionary. However, he provides less extensive access to how ordinary Breton inhabitants participated in the making of Breton tourism. And herein lies the central dilemma that Young explores in this impressive, deeply researched study of the development of regional tourism in Brittany.

  • Introduction the GSR : REDON ’S IDEALS and REALITIES
    Rutger Kramer – RMA Thesis – Monastic Ideals and the Use of the Bible in the GSR – 2007 Introduction THE GSR : REDON ’S IDEALS AND REALITIES Once upon a time, in the region that is nowadays known as Brittany, in the north-west of France, there lived a powerful nobleman whose name was Haelwocon. If this man, close advisor of the ruler of the land, had but one vice, it was his dependence on the lazy and luxurious lifestyle he had grown accustomed to. Haelwocon was a slave to his belly. He also was a drinker of wine beyond measure, and to make matters even worse, he refused to take advice from anybody when he was reproached, and he just laughed when called upon to mend his erroneous ways. In doing this, he opened himself up to attacks by demons, and only after such an attack had finally happened did he repent. Tormented by convulsions, he ordered his servants to tie him up and bring him to the nearest monastery, where he hoped he might find solace. Indeed, he did. Through the prayers of the monks, the demons were expelled from his body, “and from that day he took care to mend his ways and lead a sober life, and revere the holy place”. The story of Haelwocon is a story of redemption that has been written down in the Gesta Sanctorum Rotonensium ( GSR ), a ninth-century work that tells about origins and rise to prominence of the monastery of Redon, its first abbot, and the first generation of monks. 1 As such, it is no surprise that, in this anecdote, the monastery the hapless aristocrat asks to be brought to, is indeed Redon.

  • Prudentius of Troyes (D. 861) and the Reception of the Patristic Tradition in the Carolingian Era
    Prudentius of Troyes (d. 861) and the Reception of the Patristic Tradition in the Carolingian Era by Jared G. Wielfaert A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Jared Wielfaert 2015 Prudentius of Troyes (d. 861) and the Reception of the Patristic Tradition in the Carolingian Era Jared Gardner Wielfaert Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto 2015 ABSTRACT: This study concerns Prudentius, bishop of Troyes (861), a court scholar, historian, and pastor of the ninth century, whose extant corpus, though relatively extensive, remains unstudied. Born in Spain in the decades following the Frankish conquest of the Spanish march, Prudentius had been recruited to the Carolingian court under Louis the Pious, where he served as a palace chaplain for a twenty year period, before his eventual elevation to the see of Troyes in the 840s. With a career that moved from the frontier to the imperial court center, then back to the local world of the diocese and environment of cathedral libraries, sacred shrines, and local care of souls, the biography of Prudentius provides a frame for synthesis of several prevailing currents in the cultural history of the Carolingian era. His personal connections make him a rare link between the generation of the architects of the Carolingian reforms (Theodulf and Alcuin) and their students (Rabanus Maurus, Prudentius himself) and the great period of fruition of which the work of John Scottus Eriugena is the most widely recogized example. His involvement in the mid-century theological controversy over the doctrine of predestination illustrates the techniques and methods, as well as the concerns and preoccupations, of Carolingian era scholars engaged in the consolidation and interpretation of patristic opinion, particularly, that of Augustine.

  • Colleague, Critic, and Sometime Counselor to Thomas Becket
    JOHN OF SALISBURY: COLLEAGUE, CRITIC, AND SOMETIME COUNSELOR TO THOMAS BECKET By L. Susan Carter A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of History–Doctor of Philosophy 2021 ABSTRACT JOHN OF SALISBURY: COLLEAGUE, CRITIC, AND SOMETIME COUNSELOR TO THOMAS BECKET By L. Susan Carter John of Salisbury was one of the best educated men in the mid-twelfth century. The beneficiary of twelve years of study in Paris under the tutelage of Peter Abelard and other scholars, John flourished alongside Thomas Becket in the Canterbury curia of Archbishop Theobald. There, his skills as a writer were of great value. Having lived through the Anarchy of King Stephen, he was a fierce advocate for the liberty of the English Church. Not surprisingly, John became caught up in the controversy between King Henry II and Thomas Becket, Henry’s former chancellor and successor to Theobald as archbishop of Canterbury. Prior to their shared time in exile, from 1164-1170, John had written three treatises with concern for royal court follies, royal pressures on the Church, and the danger of tyrants at the core of the Entheticus de dogmate philosophorum , the Metalogicon , and the Policraticus. John dedicated these works to Becket. The question emerges: how effective was John through dedicated treatises and his letters to Becket in guiding Becket’s attitudes and behavior regarding Church liberty? By means of contemporary communication theory an examination of John’s writings and letters directed to Becket creates a new vista on the relationship between John and Becket—and the impact of John on this martyred archbishop.

  • Background: What Was the Church and Why Was It Important?
    Background: What was the Church and why was it important? To fully understand the issues at stake in this topic, we need firstly to work out what the Church was and why it was so important during this time period. What is the Church? When I use the word ‘Church’ it generally means everybody working for the Church, from the Pope at its head, down to Archbishop, Bishops, the priests and clerks. It also includes all of the buildings and land attached to Christianity and the money that comes in from those lands. When we refer to ‘The Church’ it means the whole institution, not just a physical building, i.e. the village church. Why was the Church so important? In medieval England, the Church dominated everybody's life. All Medieval people - be they village peasants, barons, knights, kings or towns people - believed that God, Heaven and Hell existed The control the Church had over the people was total. For example, peasants worked for free on church land for a certain number of days a year and had to give 10% of their earnings to the Church (this payment was called a Tithe) The Church was very wealthy and owned lots of land, some reasons are: - If you died you had to pay to be buried on Church lands - If you were born you had to give a donation in order to be baptised - You could buy ‘Indulgences’ to guarantee you would go to heaven. Interestingly, when Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries (buildings where monks lived) in the 1500’s he received 25% of total land in England.

  • Breton Patronyms and the British Heroic Age
    Breton Patronyms and the British Heroic Age Gary D. German Centre de Recherche Bretonne et Celtique Introduction Of the three Brythonic-speaking nations, Brittany, Cornwall and Wales, it is the Bretons who have preserved the largest number of Celtic family names, many of which have their origins during the colonization of Armorica, a period which lasted roughly from the fourth to the eighth centuries. The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of the Breton naming system and to identify the ways in which it is tied to the earliest Welsh poetic traditions. The first point I would like to make is that there are two naming traditions in Brittany today, not just one. The first was codified in writing during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and it is this system that has given us the official hereditary family names as they are recorded in the town halls and telephone directories of Brittany. Although these names have been subjected to marked French orthographic practices, they reflect, in a fossilized form, the Breton oral tradition as it existed when the names were first set in writing over 400 years ago. For this reason, these names often contain lexical items that are no longer understood in the modern spoken language. We shall return to this point below. The second naming system stems directly from the oral tradition as it has come down to us today. Unlike the permanent hereditary names, it is characterized by its ephemeral, personal and extremely flexible nature. Such names disappear with the death of those who bear them.

  • L'histoire De Montfort Par F.L.E. Oresve
    Histoire de Montfort et de ses environs Aupetit, Montfort-sur-Meu Oresve Félix-Louis-Emmanuel 1858 Il serait à souhaiter que toutes les localités importantes eussent leur histoire particulière, ce serait un moyen de connaître les évènements et les faits qui se sont accomplis autrefois dans chaque pays. L'histoire des peuples anciens et de leurs monuments a pour nous un charme indicible : pourquoi celle de notre ville, de nos aïeux, de nos édifices, si elle était écrite, n'exercerait-elle pas sur notre esprit la même impression ? N'est-il pas naturel de lire avec plaisir les titres de ses ancêtres, de savoir les évènements qui ont eu lieu dans sa cité natale et d'avoir l'explication de ces monuments que l'on aperçoit encore et qui sont muets pour nous. L'histoire, en général, parle bien des faits remarquables qui ont eu lieu dans quelques endroits ; mais ces endroits nous sont inconnus pour la plupart, tandis que celle d'un pays désignes les contrées que nous avons parcourues et qui ont par ce motif un plus grand intérêt. Fondé sur ces raisons, nous allons tracer l'historique de Montfort et de ses environs. Ce pays, qui n'a point encore été décrit, est plein de vieux souvenirs et de faits les plus curieux. Nous ne les citerons pas tous ; ceci demanderait un long travail qui comporterait plusieurs volumes ; mais nous allons donner les choses les plus essentielles et les plus intéressantes. Il est fâcheux qu'il ne se soit pas trouvé une plume plus instruite et plus exercée que la nôtre pour donner une semblable histoire.

  • Our January Parishscapes Newsletter
    Doccombe Parishscapes Newsletter January 2017 Welcome to our January Parishscapes Newsletter We wish everyone a wonderful new year ahead and our Parishscapes project is set to accelerate in 2017 with a lot planned. In this newsletter we thought we would give you some background history to the story of Thomas Becket so hope you find this interesting and informative. In the meantime our main work has been to continue transcribing and translating the manorial records of Doccombe manor. One group has been working their way through the manorial courts of the reign of Henry VIIth where some interesting references to Charcoal pits in the woods and tin-mining have emerged. The other group have looked at a number of C17th leases of tenancies, but also of the whole manor and the woods. They are following this with some interesting biographical work on the men who leased the manor. We also have some stimulating talks and events coming up. We'll keep you posted as we schedule them - look out for a fascinating evening with Professor Nicholas Vincent below. For more up-to-date information and our blog go to http://www.doccombeparishscapes.co.uk/ Project Lead Bill Hardiman / Project Manager-Administration Katheryn Hope The Story of Thomas Becket Thomas Becket’s death remains one of the most famous stories associated with Medieval England. Becket was a 12th century chancellor and archbishop of Canterbury whose murder resulted in his canonisation. Thomas Becket was born in 1118, the son of a prosperous London merchant. He was well educated first at Merton priory, then in a City of London school, and finally in Paris.
