medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
From: Marjorie Greene <[log in to unmask]>
> I'll also mention the attempts on various abbots' lives, among them Abelard
and Peter the Venerable
and, more than a century earlier, abbot Abbo of Fleury:
In 1004 he attempted to restore discipline in the monastery of La Reole, in
Gascony, by transferring some of the monks of Fleury into that community. But
the trouble increased; fighting began between the two parties and when St.
Abbo endeavoured to separate them he was pierced in the side by a lance. He
concealed the wound and reached his cell, where he died in the arms of his
faithful disciple Aimoin, who has left an account of his labours and virtues.
The miracles wrought at his tomb soon caused him to be regarded in the Church
of Gaul as a saint and martyr, although he does not seem to have been
officially canonized by Rome. His feast is kept on 13 November.
