Dear Cecilia,
i *think* that this must be "Saint Ladre", another name for "St. Lazare".
an important relic of whom was housed at Avallon
http://213.84.232.47/ad/Avallon
there is a 12th c. incription on the very interesting portal
http://213.84.232.47/ad/Av1
(not visible here), on the base of what would have been a column figure, which
reads "LADRE", if my rusty memory is any guide at all.
"St. Lazare" is Lazarus, if i'm not mistaken.
>Lad'ci / Lad'cus / Lad'9
there is a bar over the "a", i assume ?
