Thanks for following up on my inquiry. The depiction of Guidon or Widon in
the illumination matches closely to the story of a St. Guy of Andelecht who
born near Brussels and was known as the "poor man of Anderlecht". I wonder
if he's the same guy that Baring-Gould lists as St. Guido. Where exactly is
Berchem-Saint-Agathe, if I may be so bold to ask?
