medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Concernant le culte de ROCAMADOUR, précisons qu'il existait en Bretagne, à
Camaret (diocèse de Cornouaille), une chapelle portant le vocable de
"Notre-Dame de Rocamadour".
Jacques Juillet ("Rocamadour", édit. SAEP, 1974) attribue la fondation de ce
sanctuaire à un abbé de DAOULAS qui aurait assisté à la mort de
Henri-au-Court-Mantel, fils d'Henri II Plantagenêt, survenue à Martel en
1183. Le Père ODO DE GISSEY reprenant un texte de LA CROIX ("Evesques de
Cahors ...") assure la présence de "l'abbé de Doulas en Bretagne" au chevet
du mourant. D'autres historiens proposent de lire DALON, abbaye cistercienne
du diocèse de Limoges, à la place de DOULAS ...
CAMARET où se trouvait cette chapelle était un prieuré dépendant de l'abbaye
Notre-Dame de Daoulas (Chanoines réguliers de Saint-Augustin)

the pilgrimage here is also "documented" by a rather substantial number of
(12th-13th cc.) pilgrims' "badges" of *very* high quality which have been
found in a number of sites across Europe (including Paris & London)
--suggesting that it was a very popular site.
the Rocamador badges are, apparently, unique in form (they seem to be,
literally, a "Sigillum") and most of them are of unusually high quality:
