medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

Today (1. February) is the feast day of:
John of the Grating (d. c. 1170)  John got his nickname from the metal
cover needed to protect his grave.  He was a Breton who entered Clairvaux
under Bernard.  In time, John was sent back to Brittany, where he founded
two monasteries before becoming bishop of Aleth (he moved the see to
Saint-Malo).
