[311] The castle of Fontaine-les-Dijon was held by Bernard"s lineage till the XV century. To-day the site is covered by an unfinished commemorative church. The village church is of the XVI century.
[312] As at Citeaux, scarcely an ancient vestige remains at Clairvaux.
The XII-century monastic storehouse now serves as a house of detention.
All trace of St. Bernard"s tomb has been lost. The Revolution finished what the Huguenot wars and the absentee commendatory abbots began.
[313] M. Enlart calls Fossanuova, on the Appian Way between Rome and Naples, the first Gothic church in Italy, begun in 1187 by Burgundian Cistercians. Mr. Porter thinks that the infiltration had begun thirty years earlier through various channels. In 1208 Innocent III dedicated Fossanuova; in 1274 St. Thomas Aquinas died there, en route to the Council at Lyons. The same plain Burgundian plan was followed at Casamari (1217), and a daughter house of the latter was S. Galgano (1218), from which went monks who are cited as the masters-of-works of Siena Cathedral, the best Gothic edifice of the peninsula. Monks from French Clairvaux built the three Chiaravalle churches of Italy, and monks from Pontigny raised S. Martino near Viterbo. Later, Italy felt the influence of different French schools; thus the Naples churches are Gothic of Provence because southern French architects accompanied Charles d"Anjou, count of Provence, when he became king of the Two Sicilies. At a.s.sisi the church of S. Francesco shows the Gothic traits of Burgundy, Provence, and Champagne. The Cistercians introduced the torus profile of diagonals, but they long clung to round-headed windows.
The Provence masters introduced pointed arched windows. In Spain, Citeaux found a rival in the monks of Cluny for the dissemination of the new art. In the XII century a large number of Spanish bishoprics were filled by Cluny monks. Sometimes they built according to their own native architecture, as in Lugo Cathedral, San Vincente at Avila, and churches in Seville, which are Burgundian Romanesque. Siguenza Cathedral is Burgundian both in its Romanesque and Gothic parts. Zamora Cathedral, consecrated 1174, and the old cathedral of Salamanca, show traits of Aquitaine; both sees were occupied by Bishop Jerome, who came from Perigieux. The Cistercians of Spain did not confine themselves, as in Italy, to typically Burgundian Gothic churches. Poblet and Santa-Creus (1157) derive from the early Gothic of Midi France, as well as from Burgundy. Las Huelgas, the Cistercian house for nuns near Burgos, finished about 1180, shows slight Burgundian and much Plantagenet Gothic influence. The foundress was the daughter of Henry II and Alienor of Aquitaine. In Spain, as in Italy, the later Gothic monuments conformed to the standards of northern French Gothic. Portugal was more exclusively a Cistercian field of art. In 1148, Alcobaca monastery was founded by the son of a Burgundian prince, progenitor of Portugal"s royal line. While it shows Angevin Gothic traits, its plan is the sober Cistercian Burgundian type. In the military Orders of Spain and Portugal the Cistercian Rule was used. The king of Sweden, in 1143, obtained Cistercian missionaries from Clairvaux; in Denmark the abbey church of Soro is Burgundian Gothic.

[326] In the abbatial of St. Pierre-sur-Dives there is XII-century work in the ambulatory walls, in the piers and side walls of the nave, and in the lower parts of the facade towers. To the XIII century belong most of the choir"s piers and the apsidal chapels, also the beautiful chapter house. The transept then was put into harmony with the nave, and its tower built, which latter now is braced by clumsy obstructions within the church. In the XIV century rose the west facade, and the north tower was rebuilt. The XV century rehandled the high vaulting and clearstory, where appear die-away moldings and flamelike tracery. The abbey was founded by Richard II (d. 1020) and his beautiful d.u.c.h.ess, Judith of Brittany. Its Romanesque abbatial was dedicated in 1067 by Archbishop Maurille in the presence of the Conqueror and Matilda. In 1107 the abbatial was burned by Henry I of England, who accused the abbot of siding with his elder brother, with whom he was at war, but in atonement the king contributed toward the reconstruction of the church; _Congres Archeologique_, 1861, 1862, and 1908, p. 278; J.

[329] The abbatial of Bernay (Eure), to-day a corn exchange on the market place, shows in its transept the earliest instance of an arcaded wall pa.s.sage, the feature that, when placed at the clearstory level, became one of the most frequent characteristics of Anglo-Norman architecture, both Romanesque and Gothic. Bernay was founded between 1013 and 1019 by Richard II and Judith of Brittany, the same who invited to their duchy the Lombard, William of Volpiano. William is known to have worked on the Bernay abbatial, which shows resemblances to Burgundian churches at Auxerre and Nevers, and he may have brought to Normandy the Lombard trait of absidal chapels projecting from the eastern wall of the transept. Bernay, however, did not use the Lombard alternance of ground supports. Mr. Bilson thinks that the tall attached stripes were intended for a vaulted, not for a timber roof. The nave"s side walls and piers are of Abbot William"s time; two bays of the choir belong to later years of the XI century. William the Conqueror is said to have finished the church. It was grievously sacked during the religious wars. The church of Ste. Croix in Bernay, begun, 1373, enlarged 1497, contains tombs from Bec, of former abbots there. _Congres Archeologique_, 1908, vol. 2, p. 588, Chanoine Poree; _Bulletin Monumental_, 1911, vol. 75, p. 396, Chanoine Poree, and p. 403, John Bilson; G.T.

"Li quens Rollanz se jut desuz un pin; Envers Espaigne en ad turnet sun vis.
De plusurs choses a remembrer li prist; De toutes teres que li bers ad cunquis, De dulce France, des humes de sun lign, De Carlemagne, sun seignur, ki l"nurrit, Ne poet muer n"en plurt e ne suspirt.
Mais lui mesme ne voelt metre en ubli; Cleimet sa culpe, si priet Deu mercit: "Viere paterne, ki unkes ne mentis, Seit Lazarin de mort resurrexis E Daniel des leuns quaresis, Guaris de mei l"aume de tuz perilz Pur les pecchiez que en ma vie fis!"
Sun destre gant a Deu en puroffrit, E de sa main seinz Gabriel l"ad pris.
Desur sun braz teneit le chef enclin: Juintes ses mains est alez a sa fin.
Deus li tramist sun angle cherubin, Seinz Raphael, seinz Michiel de l"Peril, Ensemble od els seinz Gabriels i vint, L"aume de l"c.u.n.te portent en pares."
("Roland the brave lay p.r.o.ne beneath a pine, Toward Spain his face was turned as conqueror, Of many things came back the memory sharp, The host of places he had won in war, Thoughts of sweet France and of his parentage, Of Charlemagne, his lord, who nurtured him; And tears and sighs rose as the memories surged.
Nor did he wish his own self to forget.
Demanding grace of G.o.d, he told his sins: "Our Father true, who never yet has lied, Who from the grave raised Blessed Lazarus, Who Daniel saved from lions, save my soul.
Pardon the sins that I have stained it with!"
Toward G.o.d he held his right-hand gauntlet up, Archangel Gabriel took it from his hand.
Then on his arm his head sank slowly down, Hands clasped in prayer his spirit pa.s.sed beyond.
G.o.d to him sent his angel cherubim, Archguardian Michael, him called of the Peril, St. Raphael and St. Gabriel with him came And bore the Count"s soul straight to Paradise.")

[335] The court at Rouen asked Jeanne at the fourth interrogation, February 27, 1431: "Whose was the first voice you heard when you were about thirteen?" Jeanne replied: "It was St. Michael"s. I saw him before my eyes; he was not alone, but was encircled by angels of heaven. I saw him with my bodily eyes as clearly as I see you. When they left me, I wept; right gladly would I have gone with them, that is--my soul." At the seventh interrogation, March 15, 1431, when asked how she knew it was St. Michael, Jeanne replied: "_Par le parler et le langage des anges_.... He told me I was a good child and that G.o.d would aid me, and to come to the aid of the king of France. He related to me the _grand pitie qui etait au royaume de France_."--E.

When asked by her judges if G.o.d hated the English, Jeanne replied: "Of the love or the hate which G.o.d has for the English, or of what He will do with their souls, I know nothing. But this I know: that they one and all will be driven out of France, except those who here die, and that G.o.d will send victory to the French against the English."
