The Abbey of Saint-Savin-en-Lavedan ((フランス語:Abbaye de Saint-Savin-en-Lavedan); (ラテン語:() Santi Savini di Bigorra) or ''Santi Savini Levitanensis''〔Benjamin Guérard, Cartulaire de l'abbaye de Saint-Victor de Marseille, Volume 2, Lahure, 1857, (Cartulaire de l'abbaye de Saint-Victor de Marseille – Benjamin Guérard, M. GUERARD – Google Livres )〕) was a Benedictine abbey in the commune of Saint-Savin, Hautes-Pyrénées, France. It was one of the most important religious centres in the County of Bigorre. The Romanesque abbey church remains, in use since 1790 as a parish church. ==History== The abbey dates at least from the 10th century, and it was built by order of Charlemagne on the site of an ancient Gallo-Roman fortress called ''Palatium Æmilianum'' ("Palace of Emilianus").〔Bulletin monumental, ou, Recueil de documents et de mémoires relatifs aux différentes branches de l'archéologie, Volume 18, Société française d'archéologie, Musée des monuments français, 1852, (books.google.fr )〕 From no later than the time of the Congregation of St. Maur, the abbey possessed a coat of arms.〔Gustave Bascle de Lagrèze, Monographie de Saint-Savin de Lavedan, (p.94 ).〕 According to Pulci's poem ''Il Morgante maggiore'', Roland, protagonist of the Chanson de Roland was in the abbey at some point.〔Pierre Laboulinière, Itinéraire descriptif et pittoresque des Hautes-Pyrénées franç, Volume 2,, (Itinéraire descriptif et pittor. des Hautes-Pyrénées franç – Pierre Laboulinière – Google Livres )〕 In 841, the abbey was looted and burnt by the Normans, and previously by the Saracens.〔J.M. Besse, « Archives de la France monastique », tome III, 1910, consultable https://archive.org/stream/archivesdelafran10abbauoft#page/80/mode/2up/search/Savin〕 In 945, Count Raymond I of Bigorre gave the abbey a generous endowment consisting of a territory known as the''Pascal de Saint-Savin '', which was made of the eight villages of Saint-Savin (Sen Sabi), Castet, Lau (Laou), Balagnas, Adast (Adas), Nestalas, Soulom and Uz; the church of Saint-Jean-de-Saint-Savin became their communal church.〔http://membres.multimania.fr/scalp7/scalp_ribiera_de_Saint-Savin.htm〕 In 1080 the abbey was united to the Abbey of St. Victor, Marseille. In 1130 Bernard d'Arcizas and Centule II, Count of Bigorre, confronted the abbot and the inhabitants of the Val d'Azun over a burial.〔François-Alexandre Aubert de La Chesnaye-Desbois, Badier, ''Dictionnaire de la noblesse, contenant les généalogies, l'histoire…'', Volume 1 (Dictionnaire de la noblesse, contenant les généalogies, l'histoire & la ... – François-Alexandre Aubert de La Chesnaye-Desbois, Badier – Google Livres )〕 Queen Marguerite of Navarre (1492–1549) took refuge in the abbey from a flood. From the thirteenth century, the abbey still controlled the territory of seven villages. From the 16th century the abbey suffered due to the destruction associated with the French Wars of Religion and relaxed its discipline, although there were attempts to restore it in the 17th century by the monks of the Congregation of St. Maur. Only three monks remained living in the abbey in 1790. In the following year, the church and the monastic buildings were converted for the use of the parish. Part of the abbey was sold for a stone quarry and the chapter house became a stable.〔 In 1854, a strong earthquake caused further destructions.〔()〕 Prosper Mérimée took charge of its restoration in 1855. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abbey of Saint-Savin-en-Lavedan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
