medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
In my search for the answer to my own "musing" question, I find that "[t]he
cathedral [of Poitiers], St. Peter's, is a beautiful Gothic building begun
in the second half of the twelfth century under the reign of Henry II
Plantagenet of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine and consecrated 18 October,
1379."
Query: Poitiers had a bishop as early as the 4th c. Assuming there was a
cathedral, is it a given that Henry and Eleanor's would have been dedicated
to the same saint? The cathedral of Paris was at first dedicated to Saint
Stephen and various others had name changes when a local saint assumed great
importance. Does anyone know what happened at Poitiers?
