medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture


If I remember well, the scenes of Armel's life depicted in the stained glass
of Ploermel church were all based on differents episodes from the latin vitae
of the saint.

Saint Armel's cult in Wales and England could have been introducted by Henry
Tudor, who stayed in Brittany for years in exile ; there is a new hypothesis
that Armel could be an "avatar" of king Arthur  (cf. Ch. Barber & D. Pykitt and
also P. Galloni). But you do know all about that, Maddy, do you ?
