Dear Christopher,
There is a superb article on French relic tours--Pierre Heliot and Marie-Laure
Chastang, 'Quetes et voyages de reliques au profit des eglises francaises du
moyen age', in Revue d'Histoire Ecclesiastique, 59.2 (1964), p.789-822; 60.1
(1965), p.5-32. I can't recall if the Chartres tour is mentioned; but it
probably is. I cite Heliot and Chastang in a forthcoming essay (2000) in the
Revue d'Histoire Ecclesiastique on Christian crowds and crowd psychology.
