Le Puy was a major bishopric by the early period of medieval France. Its foundation is largely legendary. ]]> 2021-03-15 16:43:46 UTC https://padlet.com/25sgowda3_1/93npg6i0iqyxxvb4/wish/1311690814 25sgowda3_1 https://padlet.com/25sgowda3_1/93npg6i0iqyxxvb4/wish/1311706429 According to a martyrology compiled by Ado of Vienne, published in many copies in 858, and supplemented in the mid-10th century by Gauzbert of Limoges, a priest named George accompanied a certain Front, the first Bishop of Périgueux, when they were sent to proselytize in Gaul. Front was added to the list of the apostles to Gaul, who in tradition are described as being sent out to reorganize Christians after the persecutions that are associated with Decius, circa 250. As with others of the group, notably Saint Martial of Limoges, later mythology pushed the activities of Saint Front and the priest George back in time. It tells that George had been restored to life with a touch of Saint Peter's staff. ]]> 2021-03-15 16:46:36 UTC https://padlet.com/25sgowda3_1/93npg6i0iqyxxvb4/wish/1311706429 25sgowda3_1 https://padlet.com/25sgowda3_1/93npg6i0iqyxxvb4/wish/1311712140 Following St. George the founder, later medieval local traditions evoke a legendary list of bishops at this chief town of the pays of Le Velay: Macarius, Marcellinus, Roricius, Eusebius, Paulianus, and Vosy, all of them canonized by local veneration. The Gaulish settlement of Ruessium/Vellavorum was given its Christianizing name, Saint-Paulien, from Bishop Paulianus. Bishop Evodius attended the Council of Valence in 374.]]> 2021-03-15 16:47:40 UTC https://padlet.com/25sgowda3_1/93npg6i0iqyxxvb4/wish/1311712140 25sgowda3_1 https://padlet.com/25sgowda3_1/93npg6i0iqyxxvb4/wish/1311723132 In the early 1180s peasants of Le Puy, led by a carpenter named Durandus, formed a conspiratio called the Capucciati. They challenged seigneurial dominance in a short-lived attempt at reformation. Pilgrims were early visitors to Le Puy, and it was the most popular destination in France during the Middle Ages. Charlemagne came twice, in 772 and 800. There is a legend that in 772, he established a foundation at the cathedral for ten poor canons, and he chose Le Puy, with Aachen and Saint-Gilles, as a center for the collection of Peter's Pence. Other notable medieval visitors to Le Puy were Charles the Bald in 877, Odo, count of Paris in 892, Robert II in 1029, and Philip Augustus in 1183. ]]> 2021-03-15 16:49:40 UTC https://padlet.com/25sgowda3_1/93npg6i0iqyxxvb4/wish/1311723132 25sgowda3_1 https://padlet.com/25sgowda3_1/93npg6i0iqyxxvb4/wish/1311730567 Louis IX met James I of Aragon here in 1245, and in 1254, when passing through Le Puy on his return from the Holy Land, he gave the cathedral an ebony image of the Blessed Virgin clothed in gold brocade. She is one of the many dozens of venerable Black Virgins of France. It was destroyed during the Revolution, but replaced at the Restoration with a copy that continues to be venerated. ]]> 2021-03-15 16:50:59 UTC https://padlet.com/25sgowda3_1/93npg6i0iqyxxvb4/wish/1311730567 25sgowda3_1 https://padlet.com/25sgowda3_1/93npg6i0iqyxxvb4/wish/1311734789 After him, Le Puy was visited by Philip the Bold in 1282, by Philip the Fair in 1285, by Charles VI in 1394, by Charles VII in 1420, and by Isabelle Romée, the mother of Joan of Arc, in 1429. Louis XI made the pilgrimage in 1436 and 1475, and in 1476 halted three leagues from the city and walked barefoot to the cathedral. Charles VIII visited it in 1495, Francis I in 1533.
