Any of us who work on Capetian culture know about Ingebourg and what can only seem as her unfortuante treatment at the hands of Philip Augustus, but I've never heard of her a saint Ingebourg. Any leads about to what extent she was actually venerated as such? where? and under what circumstances? fascinating! -cecilia ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html
