Talk:Brioc

Nothing is known of him

I'd bet we can't say that. Though you and I may not know peep about him, the Bollandists probably have several pages on his existence, possible life, cult, feasts, etc. The Acta Sanctorum, unfortunately, are not online though! Bill 16:19, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Possible Source

A source would be L. M. Eyre, "Folklore Notes from St. Briavel's", Folklore, Vol. 13, No. 2 (Jun. 24, 1902), pp. 170-177.

I know that it is available on JSTOR, and we could use the print version as a reference, but I don't have a JSTOR subscription to see exactly what the article says. Pastordavid 17:27, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Notability

I have removed the notability tag because (1) the whole sainthood thing, and (2) the castle named after him. Frankly, it might not be a bad idea to merge the stub on the castle with the stub on the saint. Thoughts? -- Pastordavid 17:19, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Attention tag

I added the attention tag because of the proposed merge. -- Pastordavid 17:27, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Briavel is generally thought to be the same man as Brioc. I have changed the merge tag accordingly. Walgamanus 17:20, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
