Bèze was a Benedictine house whose history included at least six incidents of sacking and destruction – and according to its twelfth-century chronicler it always recovered and emerged stronger than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCombining the history of Burgundy and Francia with the history of his house, John, the chronicler, created a past for Bèze as he wanted it to be remembered.

While the monks of Bèze have often been overshadowed by their more famous neighbours, the monks of Dijon, this edition recounts the history of one of the oldest houses in Burgundy and gives it its proper due.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eList of Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eList of Abbots\u003cbr\u003eChronological List of Documents\u003cbr\u003eThe Cartulary-Chronicle of Bèze\u003cbr\u003eAppendix\u003cbr\u003eWorks Cited\u003cbr\u003eIndex of People\u003cbr\u003eIndex of Places\u003cbr\u003eIndex of Topics\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52595480461592,"sku":"9781487506155","price":53.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-cartulary-chronicle-of-st-pierre-of-beze-hardback-9781487506155","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
