Meung-sur-Loire Cottages

La collégiale Saint-Liphard. Bâtie à l'endroit d'un monastère sur la tombe de Saint-Liphard (✝565), l'église sera consacrée le dimanche 16 octobre 1104 en présence des l'archevêques de Tours et de Paris et de l'évêque d'Orléans, réunis lors du concile de Beaugency (concile annulant le mariage de Philippe 1er avec Berthe de Hollande, le roi vivant déjà en ménage avec Bertrade de Montfort). En réalité, il s'agissait d'une nouvelle consécration. En 1103, Léon (Lionel, Léonel) de Meung, un vassal rebel de l’évêque d’Orléans, se retrancha dans la tour de l’église avec une soixantaine d’hommes. Louis, fils de du roi Philippe 1er, qui dès 1102, avait défait plusieurs seigneurs brigands du domaine royal, élimine en 1103 le seigneur de Meung, Léon, vassal indocile de l'évêque d'Orléans. Louis, futur Louis VI le gros, avait été associé au pouvoir par son père depuis 1100. Pour effacer la souillure de la présence d'hommes armés dans l'église, Jean, évêque d’Orléans fit une nouvelle consécration de l’église Saint-Liphard en 1104. The church of Saint-Liphard Built on the site of a monastery on the tomb of Saint-Liphard (✝ 565), the church will be dedicated Sunday, October 16, 1104 in the presence of the archbishop of Tours and Paris and Bishop of Orleans , gathered at the council of Beaugency (council annulling the marriage of Philippe Berthe first with Holland, the king already living in households with Bertrade de Montfort). In reality, there was a rededication. In 1103, Leo (Lionel Léonel) Meung, a rebel vassal of the Bishop of Orleans, entrenched in the tower of the church with sixty men. Louis, son of King Philip 1, which from 1102 had defeated several brigands lords of the royal domain, eliminating in 1103 the lord of Meung, Leon, rebellious vassal of the Bishop of Orleans. Louis, the future Louis VI the fat, was associated with power by his father since 1100. To erase the stain of the presence of armed men in the church, John, bishop of Orleans made a rededication of the church Saint-Liphard in 1104.
