Talk:Aubert of Avranches

Possible reference
For a recent and well-written (2003) discussion of the issues and beliefs about this saint, see: Smith, K. A. (2003). "An angel’s power in a bishop’s body: the making of the cult of Aubert of Avranches at Mont-Saint-Michel." Journal of Medieval History 29 ((2003) ): 347–360.

Dates of Aubert
prints the episcopal list of the Bishops of Avranches, which has an Authbertus, but he is earlier than Bishop Rahentrannus, who came to the episcopal seat only ca. 681/683 (p. 224-225). That seems to rule out a date of 708 for Aubert. What is the evidence for 708? The story of the founding of Mont Saint-Michel seems to be a single-source myth. --Vicedomino (talk) 19:03, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
