medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture In my search for the answer to my own "musing" question, I find that "[t]he cathedral [of Poitiers], St. Peter's, is a beautiful Gothic building begun in the second half of the twelfth century under the reign of Henry II Plantagenet of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine and consecrated 18 October, 1379." Query: Poitiers had a bishop as early as the 4th c. Assuming there was a cathedral, is it a given that Henry and Eleanor's would have been dedicated to the same saint? The cathedral of Paris was at first dedicated to Saint Stephen and various others had name changes when a local saint assumed great importance. Does anyone know what happened at Poitiers?
