medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Following up on Jim's remark...
I "read somewhere" that Louis and his wife had to sneak around (his mother)
just to have sex. Probably gossipy twaddle but nonetheless indicative of her
reputation for having an iron fist she wielded around her kids. Consider
also the number of people who produced children, all of whom entered
religious life: Peter the Venerable's parents, the Martins (candidates for
canonization now, I believe), various people I know, who are of no interest
to this list. And wasn't Bernard of Clairvaux's
brother(s)/sibling(s) in religious life also?
