medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Dear Phyllis & all, My own guess would be that the medieval French saint Jean de Montfort was probably 'appropriated' during the later middle ages by the German/Austrian counts of Montfort as one of theirs. However, the following articles -- which I myself have not read -- will probably shed some light on these question: Walter P. Liesching, Der 'Heilige' Johannes von Montfort - Patron des Grafenhauses Montfort-Tettnang, In: Die Montforter, Bregenz 1982 (= Ausstellungskatalog des Vorarlberger Landesmuseums, 103), p.106s. Karl Heinz Burmeister, Der heilige Johannes von Montfort, in id., Die Grafen von Montfort. Geschichte, Recht, Kultur. Festgabe zum 60. Geburtstag von Karl Heinz Burmeister, herausgegeben von Alois Niedersta"tter (Forschungen zur Geschichte Vorarlbergs NF 2), Konstanz: Universit"tsverlag, 1996, p.117s.
