Chelles Abbey
Chelles Abbey (french: Abbaye Notre-Dame-des-Chelles) was a Frankish monastery founded around 657/660 during the early medieval period. It was intended initially as a monastery for women; then its reputation for great learning grew, and with the afflux of men wishing to follow the monastic life, a parallel male community was established, creating a double monastery. The abbey stood in the Val-de-Marne near Paris (in modern Meaux) until it fell victim to the disestablishment of the Catholic Church in 1792 during the French Revolution and was dismantled.David Coxall, 'Chelles', in André Vauchez (ed.), ''Encyclopaedia of the Middle Ages'' The abbey housed an important scriptorium and held the advantage of powerful royal connections throughout the Carolingian era. History Before its religious designation, the site of the abbey, Cala (Gaulish "a collection of pebbles"; modern Chelles, Seine-et-Marne) had held a royal Merovingian villa. Queen Clotilde, the wife of Clovis I, had previ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Berthild Of Chelles
Saint Berthild, also known as Bertille or Bertilla (died 692), was abbess of Chelles Abbey in France. Life Berthild was born into one of the most illustrious families in the territory of Soissons, France, during the reign of Dagobert I.In his seminal work, ''The Lives of Saints'', Alban Butler describes the life of St. Bertille based upon a biography written shortly after her death in Mabillon, ''Act. Ben.'' t. 3. p. 21; Du Plessis, ''Hist. de Meaux'', l. 1, n. 47, 48, 50. She entered the nunnery of Jouarre in Brie, not far from Meaux, founded in 630 by Ado, the elder brother of Saint Ouen, who had taken the monastic habit there. Berthild was educated by Saint Thelchildis, the first abbess of Jouarre, who governed that abbey until 660. When Saint Bathildis, the wife of Clovis II, founded the abbey of Chelles, which Saint Clotildis had first instituted near the Marne, she asked Saint Thelchildis to set up a new community there with the most experienced and virtuous nuns of J ...

Saint Kea
Saint Kea ( Breton and Cornish: ''Ke''; french: Ké) was a late 5th-century British saint from the ''Hen Ogledd'' ("Old North")—the Brythonic-speaking parts of what is now southern Scotland and northern England. According to tradition he was chiefly active in Cornwall, Devon and Brittany, and his cult was popular in those regions as well as throughout Wales and the West Country. St Fili or Filius, to whom the parish church of Philleigh is dedicated, probably came from Wales and is said to have been a companion of St Kea. Legend Kea is chiefly known through a French summary of a lost Latin hagiography written by Maurice of Cleder in the 17th century, as well as ''Beunans Ke'', an incomplete 16th-century Cornish-language play rediscovered in 2000. According to these, he was the son of King Lleuddun Luyddog of Lothian, and served as bishop in North Britain before moving on to become a hermit. He first went to Wales and then moved south, founding churches at Street, Somerse ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hermenegild
Saint Hermenegild or Ermengild (died 13 April 585; es, San Hermenegildo; la, Hermenegildus, from Gothic ''*Airmana-gild'', "immense tribute"), was the son of king Liuvigild of the Visigothic Kingdom in the Iberian Peninsula and southern France. He fell out with his father in 579, then revolted the following year. During his rebellion, he converted from Arianism to Catholicism. Hermenegild was defeated in 584 and exiled. His death was later celebrated as a martyrdom due to the influence of Pope Gregory I's ''Dialogues'', in which he portrayed Hermenegild as a "Catholic martyr rebelling against the tyranny of an Arian father." Marriage to Ingund Hermenegild was the eldest son of Liuvigild and his first wife. He was a brother of Reccared I and brought up an Arian. Liuvigild made his sons co-regents. In 579, he married Ingund, the daughter of the Frankish King Sigebert I of Austrasia who was a Catholic. Her mother was the Visigoth princess Brunhilda of Austrasia. The twelve-yea ...

Cybi
Saint Cuby (in Cornish) or Saint Cybi (in Welsh) was a 6th-century Cornish bishop, saint and, briefly, king, who worked largely in Cornwall and North Wales: his biography is recorded in two slightly variant medieval 'lives'. Life in Cornwall His ''vita'', found in two (Latin) forms written about 1200, is of very doubtful value, but may be right in making him the son of a Cornish noble who was ''princeps militae'', at a court between the Tamar and the Lynher, possibly Gelliwig. According to the 'Life of Saint Cybi', he was the son of Salomon, a 'warrior prince', generally thought to have been a King of Cornwall. In the 'Bonedd y Saint', his father's name is given the Welsh form, Selyf. His mother, Saint Wenna (''Gwen ferch Cynyr''), was sister to Saint Non. He was raised as a Christian and, in early life, went on a pilgrimage to Byzantine Judea and Jerusalem. He was appalled at the Church in Israel and considered it an invader of Christ's land. In Judea, he found Jew ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Saint-Lyé-la-Forêt
Saint-Lyé-la-Forêt () is a commune in the Loiret department in north-central France. History Saint-Lyé-la-Forêt takes it name from Saint Lyé, a hermit who had retired to the forest seeking solitude. It was there that he began to work miracles: he healed the sick of their infirmities, especially children. He died in 534. A chapel was erected on his tomb on the site of the current church. Later, his relics were transported to Pithiviers, but burned by the Huguenots in 1580. The remains preserved by Christians from Pithiviers were brought back to the village in 1664 after many adventures. They rest in a reliquary placed at the foot of the altar dedicated to him in the village Church of Saint Roch. The village is near the site of an ancient road from Orléans to Paris. In 1918, Saint-Lyé became Saint-Lyé la Forêt.

Saint Lie
In religious belief, a saint is a person who is recognized as having an exceptional degree of holiness, likeness, or closeness to God. However, the use of the term ''saint'' depends on the context and denomination. In Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Oriental Orthodox, and Lutheran doctrine, all of their faithful deceased in Heaven are considered to be saints, but some are considered worthy of greater honor or emulation. Official ecclesiastical recognition, and consequently a public cult of veneration, is conferred on some denominational saints through the process of canonization in the Catholic Church or glorification in the Eastern Orthodox Church after their approval. While the English word ''saint'' originated in Christianity, historians of religion tend to use the appellation "in a more general way to refer to the state of special holiness that many religions attribute to certain people", referring to the Jewish tzadik, the Islamic walī, the Hindu rishi or Sikh g ...
