medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Saint CADOC : "Il vint en Armorique ("petite" Bretagne), mais, obligé par
l'Ange, de repasser en Galles, il laissa dans notre péninsule un magnifique
pont de pierre qu'il avait construit. Une petite île porte encore son nom en
souvenir de son passage" (F. Duine, Memento, pp. 357-358). L'île en question
, Saint-Cado, se trouve sur la rivière d'Etel, en Belz (diocèse de Vannes).
Dès le 11éme siècle les clercs bretons faisaient de saint Cado ("Cadvod") un
bienheureux du pays de Vannes.
Ailleurs en Bretagne plusieurs chapelles lui sont dédiées : Bannalec,
Gouesnac'h, Landerneau, Sizun, Pleyben, etc ... Il est l'éponyme de
Pleucadeuc (Pleu-, pour "paroisse") dans le Morbihan. De même son nom se
retrouve dans Roscanvel, donné "Ros Cadmael" au 12ème siècle dans les
chartes de l'abbaye de Daoulas, et "Ros Catmagl" au 11ème s. au Cartulaire
de Landévennec. "Cat-Magl(i)" signifie "Prince du combat". Cette même forme,
Cathmael, est donné par la "vita Finniani" (éd. Heist, p. 97), où le saint
est en relation avec saint David.

> Benevento, which seems to have no historic foundation.
>
> Finbar (d. c. 610) Finbar (aka Findbarr, Barra, or Barry) was born in what
> is now Co. Cork (Ireland). He became a hermit, soon gathered disciples,
