Abbot
Abbot is an ecclesiastical title given to the head of an independent monastery for men in various Western Christian traditions. The name is derived from ''abba'', the Aramaic form of the Hebrew ''ab'', and means "father". The female equivalent is abbess. Origins The title had its origin in the monasteries of Egypt and Syria, spread through the eastern Mediterranean, and soon became accepted generally in all languages as the designation of the head of a monastery. The word is derived from the Aramaic ' meaning "father" or ', meaning "my father" (it still has this meaning in contemporary Arabic: أب, Hebrew: אבא and Aramaic: ܐܒܐ) In the Septuagint, it was written as "abbas". At first it was employed as a respectful title for any monk, but it was soon restricted by canon law to certain priestly superiors. At times it was applied to various priests, e.g. at the court of the Frankish monarchy the ' ("of the palace"') and ' ("of the camp") were chaplains to the Merovingian ...

Gilles Rigaud
The Gilles are the oldest and principal participants in the Carnival of Binche in Belgium. They go out on Shrove Tuesday from 4 a.m. until late hours and dance to traditional songs. Other cities, such as Ressaix, Leval, Buvrinnes, Épinois, Waudrez, Anderlues, Chapelle-lez-Herlaimont, Estinnes, Le Roeulx, Manage, Morlanwelz, Seneffe, Nivelles, Charleroi and La Louvière have a tradition of Gilles at carnival, but the Carnival of Binche is by far the most famous. In 2003, the Carnival of Binche was proclaimed one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.Logan p.223 History The earliest documented reference to the Gilles is from 1795, when the revolutionary Directorate attempted to prohibit the wearing of masks.

Matthew Of Vendôme (abbot)
Matthew of Vendôme () was the abbot of Saint-Denis from 1258 until 1286 and one of the regents of France from 1270 until 1271. Born around 1222, Matthew was a native of Vendôme. Although he is often said to have been a relative of the counts of Vendôme, there is no evidence of this. He most likely entered Saint-Denis out of devotion to Saint Denis, whose cult was kept at the parish church of Thoré in the Vendômois. This church had once been a property of Saint-Denis, but in 1060 it was acquired by the Abbey of La Trinité in Vendôme. It is possible that Matthew first professed as a monk at La Trinité before transferring to Saint-Denis. He was at Saint-Denis by the mid-1240s, for in 1282 he testified to a commission of inquiry into the sainthood of King Louis IX that the king had visited the abbey before the Seventh Crusade (1248–1254). In 1258, Matthew was elected to succeed Abbot Henri Mallet, under whose rule the monastery had gained a reputation for laxity. He sent ...
