- catalog abstract ""In the twelfth century the relics of an early medieval Cornish saint, Petroc, were stolen from his main foundation at Bodmin and taken to the abbey of Saint-Meen in Brittany, whence they were subsequently retrieved, partly through the agency of Henry II. Using the incident as a focus, this study investigates the cult of St. Petroc in Cornwall and Brittany, offering a fascinating account of Breton and Cornish intrigue and political manoeuvring; the two regions are associated through much of their history by a shared language and a similar geographical and political situation on the periphery of larger political and cultural entities, and the cult of the saint illuminates the similarities and dissimilarities in their ecclesiastical, religious, cultural and political histories. The book also considers the spread of the cult to Wales and England (Devonshire in particular), with wider implications for the study of cults and relics in general."--Jacket.".
