Dimanche 11 Août 2024.
Il y a eu aujourd’hui deux centres du monde, le stade de France à Paris avec la cérémonie de clôture des jeux olympiques, mais aussi à Batz sur Mer, moins dans la lumière des médias mais avec la lumière du bord de mer, le Pardon de Saint Guénolé et le défilé de la noce paludière. Musique, foule, sourires, applaudissements, danses.
What else , quoi d’autre!

I found out that other twenty-three (23) Breton saints were worshipped in England in the Middle Ages*. Most of them, however, had their cults introduced by King Æthelstan, who was a friend to exiles from Brittany (which had been conquered by the Vikings at the time). He distributed multiple Breton relics to various monasteries across England but the devotion to these Breton saints flourished mainly in Winchester where the royal court sat in the 10th century, and where this king and his family resided more often.
*Including St. Brenwalatr, St Cadroc, St Congar, St Conogan, St Corentin, St Gildas, St Gudual, St Guenaël, St Guénoc, St Guénolé, St Guethenoc, St Guigenoc, St Ivy, St Jean de Beverley, St Jupoc/Josse, St Magloire, St Malo, St Melaines, St Meloir, St Patern, St Petroc/Perreux, St Samson and St Tudual/Tugdual/Tutwal. Their names are found in calendars and liturgical books, in church dedications and in relic lists and were compiled in: 'Notes sur le culte des Saints bretons en Angleterre: Annales de Bretagne 35(4)', Gougaud Louis (1921)'.
Sometime ago @beardofkamenev mentioned Henry VII's relationship with one particular Welsh saint, Saint Armel/Armagill. Although not one of the patron saints Henry VII mentioned in his last will, there's a fascinating aspect about what links those two together:
It's worth pointing out that St Armel was a relatively unknown saint in England before Henry VII popularised his cult: a rubric found in Prince Henry’s prayer roll (pictured above) explains that the saint’s ‘life and legende’ was ‘brought out of Britayne at the ynstans off the kynge owre sovereyn lord Harry the seventh.’ There are those who assign the spread of his cult to politically astute courtiers seeking favour with Henry VII, but we cannot say every image of St Armel in the country had a political meaning behind it: ‘The king’s devotion to the saint brought him back into the list of suitable saints for commemoration’ as one scholar points out, ‘that is all.’
Yet beyond the similarities shared with his life, St Armel’s iconography might have held a range of political meanings for Henry VII. Armel was not merely a priest — he was often represented wearing armour under his chasuble, gauntlets on his hands and sabatons and spurs on his feet, possibly a warrior saint as much St Maurice or St George. According to the legend, Armel took up his sword against the Saxon invaders in Wales over the Christian cause ('Armel therefore resolved to be a soldier, but a soldier of Jesus Christ'). It has been noted that the ordaining of bishops shared symbolic similarities with the crowning of kings: Armel’s saintly status as a warrior might have appealed to Henry VII’s own conception of sacred and ordained kingship.
The saint was often represented holding a maniple or a stole in his right hand with which he controlled the dragon he had subdued according to the legend. Perhaps a puzzling aspect of Armel’s iconography, then, would be his dominion over the dragon. The dragon was an important Welsh symbol, specially brought under the spotlight in Tudor England following Henry VII's adoption of the Red Dragon of Cadwaladr as his personal symbol. However, there are significant differences in the representation of Armel’s dragon in Brittany and France compared with the depictions of this saint found in Wales and England.
In the first case, Armel’s dragon was represented as a large, fierce and aggressive creature. In the case of Wales and England, the dragon was depicted as small and submissive. As exemplified by the statute placed in Henry VII's Lady Chapel at Westminster (pictured above), the dragon is so small Armel is able to rest his foot on it: the beast is turned into a pet. In the words of Madeleine Gray, it was an important iconographic change:
This may have been an attempt to negotiate the rather difficult situation in which Henry found himself as a monarch whose emblem was the dragon ruling over a country whose patron saint was the dragon-slaying St George. On the one hand, the saint mutates from being a dragon-slayer to a dragon-friend. On the other hand, the small, tamed dragons of Merevale, Torbryan and Romsey are a reassurance to the English that Henry has the Welsh under control, while they also reassure the Welsh that he regards them as his loyal allies.
Like @beardofkamenev I recommend Madeleine Grey’s chapter “Politics, Power and Piety: The Cult of St Armel in Early Tudor England and Wales” in Rewriting Holiness: Reconfiguring Vitae, Re-signifying Cults. Kings College London Medieval Studies; vol xxv (2017).

#sometime ago i read a scholar's take on#henry vii's devotion to st armel as due to his 'hypochondria'#no comment re: st armel's welshness & sujourn in brittany#so i thought it'd be interesting to bring this back#and add some context about the worship of breton saints#in england

Batz sur Mer fête le 104ème Pardon de Saint Guénolé.
Beaucoup de monde pour cette fête bretonne traditionnelle, soleil au rendez-vous, très bonne ambiance. Musique, danses, défilé, moules frites, crêpes, galettes, huitres.
Batz est encore un petit village, coincé entre Le Pouliguen et Le Croisic, plutôt familial. Les gens ne viennent pas ici pour se faire voir, mais pour voir ce si beau petit village et sa côte ciselée comme une pierre précieuse.
