inheritance to build a monastery at Flay.
seems like this came up last year, about this time (funny how that happens).
i know not where this "Flay" comes from.
the abbey is now St-Germer-de-Fly, most notable for its important Early Gothic

i've been to that nice website site several times but never noticed the very
unusual (only for having survived) "blind tracery" **painting**
