Notizen zu dieser Person
William is remembered as a member of Charlemagne's Court, and as a great (and successful) campaigner against the Muslims in Spain. Regarded as an exemplary and highly chivalrous knight, he is the subject of several early Chansons. He retired to the Benedictine monastery at Gellone, and was canonized in 1066. A muted version of his story also has it that he, like his father Makhir-Theodoric, remained faithful to his Jewish heritage which, if accurate, must surely set some sort of record as a Mediaeval Jewish saint.(Robert Brian Stewart)
