[duchesspeggy]

je feuilletais un livre sur le patois de ma région et comme à chaque fois que je fais ça, je tombe des nues en découvrant qu'une expression que j'utilise en permanence est en fait juste du bon vieux patois bien de chez moi et que personne d'autre ne dit ça

sauf les personnages de kaamelott

genre là, le livre expliquait l'expression « tâcher moyen de... » et je me suis un peu insurgée parce que, mais enfin, c'est très répandu ça comme phrase, tout le monde dit ça non ?

et puis j'ai réalisé que j'entendais la phrase avec la voix de dame séli et je me suis posée des questions sur ma connaissance de ma propre langue

Le Baud gives a detailed account of the response of the Breton aristocracy ("les Barons’) to this state of affairs. They managed to communicate with the captive Duchess through the Seneschal o f Rennes, who relayed the Duchess’s mandate that the barons should, "se tirassent à son fils Artur, et qu’ils luy fissent fidelité et hommage, et luy servissent et obéissent, en faisant pour luy ainsi qu’ils avoient fait pour elle". Arthur being of such a young age, he would not have received the barons’ homage before, and presumably Constance was seeking to secure Arthur’s succession in the event that she was never freed. Consequently, Le Baud continues, the barons assembled in the presence of Arthur at Saint-Malo de Beignon (canton Guer, arrondissement Ploërmel, département Morbihan). If Le Baud is to be relied upon about the location, it is significant in interpreting the evidence for this assembly. Saint-Malo de Beignon was a rural estate and a summer residence o f the bishops o f Saint-Malo in the hinterland o f the diocese, towards the centre of eastern Brittany. The location may have been chosen for the security of the young Arthur, who had to be protected from being physically taken into custody by Richard’s men. It would have offered greater security to all the participants in the assembly than a location nearer to the coast or the eastern frontier. The latter was completely controlled by the Angevin ruler as Duke o f Normandy, Count of Anjou, and Count of Poitou. It was also neutral territory in the sense that it was not ducal territory, and it was physically quite central and proximate to the estates of most of the barons involved. Le Baud implies that the barons assembled at Saint-Malo de Beignon to render homage, at the request of Duchess Constance, because Arthur was already there. The implication that Arthur was staying at a residence of the Bishop o f Saint-Malo suggests that the bishop played an important role in this affair. Perhaps more generally the impetus came from the bishops, because the Bishop o f Vannes, Guethenoc, also took an active role, later taking responsibility for the delivery of Arthur to the custody of Philip II Augustus o f France (1180-1223). Bishops would also have had the administrative resources, for instance, to draft and send out letters of summons.

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).

Puis y a le refuge pour animaux co géré par Bohort et Galessin

Galessin il s’occupe des chiens

Et parfois il fait des friands à la saucisse pour le magasin bio

Aussi Perceval il fait des conventions / soirées spéciales jeux chez Calo et Leo

Yvain et Gauvain ils sont vendeurs chez le magasin bio et tout le monde les adore
