medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

> Thank you for the link to google books for his vita.
the booksgoogle url is not to the Vita, it's to the HISTORIA
INVENTIONIS ET MIRACULORUM SANCTI GILDUINI, which is the first volume (1882)
of the Analecta Bollandiana.
the AASS isn't available for free on line, only by subscription.
copies of the Vita from which are on the way soon, to an email box near you
(and Meg).
> Was Gilduin the brother/nephew of Jungene, archbishop of Dol?
that i don't know, and don't see in a very quick glance at the apparatus of
the AASS.
however, i do see something, which i must have seen before, but forgot:
Mater vero eius in Aurelianensi pago, de Puteacensium Dominorum nobilitate
claram traditur duxisse originem.
so, his mother was from the house of Le Puiset, Viscounts of Chartres and also
vassals of the king (from whom they held Le Puiset itself), infamous as Bad
Boys during the reigns of Philip I and Fat Louis (who, in a third siege of Le
P., took and destroyed the castrum there, forcing the Lord of the Place --a
Hugo-- to decide to take a long vacation in the Holy Land, see the sites and
become the Count of Jaffa).
if one reads only Suger, one could form the idea that Le Puiset was a most
fearsome and formidable place.
in actuality, it is little more than a short pimple, en pleine Beauce (as the
locals say), a treeless and rather desolate site, the castrum there which
caused all the trouble surely being built of wood.
when Hugh (II? or III?, i forget which) of Le Puiset ran afoul of Bishop Ivo
of Chartres there was some dispute (at least *he* thought that there was some
dispute) about whether his place was in the diocese of Chartres or Orleans.
i believe that Ivo won that one.
anyway, i'm not sure at all what the evidence might be for saying that
Gilduin's mother was a Le Puiset.
