Columbanus in Brittany
View through CrossRef
Columbanus landed in Brittany and made his way into the heartland of Merovingian Gaul, where he established his monastic communities in the Vosges region of eastern France. There he encountered an established monastic community, Salicis, which may have included some British monks. This chapter examines the extent to which Columbanus’s work in Gaul followed on from the work of British and Breton ascetics in both Neustria and Austrasia. It suggests that Columbanus originally landed not on the north coast of Brittany, but in the region of the Golfe de Morbihan, and that although Gregory of Tours makes no direct reference to the Irish saint, his narrative provides a context for Columbanus’s arrival, and for his move from Brittany to Burgundy.
