Note 41 — PLATES XXI.—XXIII. ABBEY CHURCH OF ST. STEPHEN. (WEST FRONT, AND ELEVATION OF COMPARTMENTS OF THE NAVE.)
Reading edition
His name is not to be found in the list of abbots given in the Neustria Pia; but the authors of the Gallia Christiana say, (XI. p. 480,) “that he was nominated to the prelacy upon the resignation of the thirty-fourth abbot, Charles d'O, and was confirmed in it by the States of Blois. It is admitted, however, that, notwithstanding his appointment in 1596, his predecessor continued to receive the emoluments of the office, till 1624, and enjoyed a large pension arising from them, till his death, in 1627.”
