Beze 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 Beze as he wanted it to be remembered. Based on John's autograph manuscript, \u003ci\u003eThe Cartulary-Chronicle of St-Pierre of Beze\u003c\/i\u003e is published here in full for the first time. While the monks of Beze 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","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47919517925534,"sku":"ING-9781487506155","price":161.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781487506155.jpg?v=1782813409","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781487506155","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
