reconciliation process of William, Duke of Normandy (soon after to become William I, King of
England), and Pope Leo IX. William fell out with the pope when he married his cousin Matilda
of Flanders after 1049 despite Leo's interdiction. Lanfranc of Pavia, Prior of Bec Abbey, who
himself had initially expressed concerns regarding the marriage, acted on William's behalf to
secure Leo's forgiveness. For this successful service, Lanfranc was made abbot of Saint-
Étienne.

Since at least the 12th century the cathedral has been an important destination for travelers. It
remains so to the present, attracting large numbers of Christian pilgrims, many of whom come
to venerate its famous relic, the Sancta Camisa, said to be the tunic worn by the Virgin Mary at
Christ's birth, as well as large numbers of secular tourists who come to admire the cathedral's
architecture and historical merit.

Chartres Cathedral
Chartres Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Our Lady of Chartres (French: Cathédrale
Notre-Dame de Chartres), is a Roman Catholic church in Chartres, France, about 80 km (50
miles) southwest of Paris. Mostly constructed between 1194 and 1220, it stands at the site of at
least five cathedrals that have occupied the site since Chartres became a bishopric in the 4th
century. It is in the Gothic and Romanesque styles.
**Flamboyant

As with any medieval bishopric, Chartres Cathedral was the most important building in the
town - the centre of its economy, its most famous landmark and the focal point of many
activities that in modern towns are provided for by specialised civic buildings. In the Middle
Ages, the cathedral functioned as a kind of marketplace, with different commercial activities
centred on the different portals, particularly during the regular fairs. Textiles were sold around
the north transept, while meat, vegetable and fuel sellers congregated around the south
Cathedrals *** porch. Money-changers (an essential service at a time when each town or region had its own
currency) had their benches, or banques, near the west portals and also in the nave itself.
[citation needed] Wine sellers plied their trade in the nave to avoid taxes until, sometime in the
13th century, an ordinance forbade this. The ordinance assigned to the wine-sellers part of the
crypt, where they could avoid the count's taxes without disturbing worshippers.[3] Workers of
various professions gathered in particular locations around the cathedral awaiting offers of
work.[4]

-Although the town of Chartres was under the judicial and tax authority of the Counts of Blois,
the area immediately surrounding the cathedral, known as the cloître, was in effect a free-trade
zone governed by the church authorities, who were entitled to the taxes from all commercial
activity taking place there.[5] As well as greatly increasing the cathedral's income, throughout
the 12th and 13th centuries this led to regular disputes, often violent, between the bishops, the
chapter and the civic authorities - particularly when serfs belonging to the counts transferred
their trade (and taxes) to the cathedral. In 1258, after a series of bloody riots instigated by the
count's officials, the chapter finally gained permission from the King to seal off the area of the
cloître and lock the gates each night.[6]

-Pilgrimages and the legend of the Sancta Camisa[edit]

Chartres Cathedral labyrinth


Even before the Gothic cathedral was built, Chartres was a place of pilgrimage, albeit on a
much smaller scale. During the Merovingian and early Carolingian eras, the main focus of
Chartres history devotion for pilgrims was a well (now located in the north side of Fulbert's crypt), known as the
Puits des Saints-Forts, or the 'Well of the Strong Saints', into which it was believed the bodies of
various local Early-Christian martyrs (including saints Piat, Cheron, Modesta and Potentianus)
had been tossed.

-Chartres became a site for the veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In 876 the cathedral
acquired the Sancta Camisa, believed to be the tunic worn by Mary at the time of Christ's birth.
According to legend, the relic was given to the cathedral by Charlemagne who received it as a
gift from Emperor Constantine VI during a crusade to Jerusalem. However, as Charlemagne's
crusade is fiction, the legend lacks historical merit and was probably invented in the 11th
century to authenticate relics at the Abbey of St Denis.[7] In fact, the Sancta Camisa was a gift
to the cathedral from Charles the Bald and there is no evidence for its being an important
object of pilgrimage prior to the 12th century.[citation needed] In 1194, when the Cathedral was
struck by lightning, and the east spire was lost, the Sancta Camisa was thought lost, too.
However, it was found three days later, protected by priests, who fled behind iron trapdoors
when the fire broke out.[citation needed]

-Notre-Dame de Paris "Our Lady of Paris"),
is a medieval Catholic cathedral on the Île de la Cité in the fourth arrondissement of Paris,
France.

The cathedral is widely considered to be one of the finest examples of French Gothic
architecture. The innovative use of the rib vault and flying buttress, the enormous and colorful
rose windows, and the naturalism and abundance of its sculptural decoration all set it apart
from earlier Romanesque architecture.

The cathedral was begun in 1160 and largely completed by 1260, though it was modified
frequently in the following centuries. In the 1790s, Notre-Dame suffered desecration during the
Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris French Revolution when much of its religious imagery was damaged or destroyed. Soon after
the publication of Victor Hugo's novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame in 1831, popular interest
in the building revived. A major restoration project supervised by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc began
in 1845 and continued for twenty-five years.

--Notre-Dame contains the cathedra of the Archbishop of Paris,

-The roof of the nave was constructed with a new technology, the rib vault, which had earlier
been used in the Basilica of Saint Denis. The roof of the nave was supported by crossed ribs
which divided each vault into six compartments. The pointed arches were stronger than the
earlier Romanesque arches, and carried the weight of the roof outwards and downwards to
rows of pillars, and out to the abutments against the walls. Construction of the choir took from
1163 until around 1177. The High Altar was consecrated in 1182. Between 1182 and 1190 the first
three traverses of the nave were built up to the level of tribunes. Beginning in 1190, the bases of
the facade were put in place, and the first traverses were completed.[6]

Notre Dame
An important innovation in the 13th century was the introduction of the flying buttress. Before
the buttresses, all of the weight of the roof pressed outward and down to the walls, and the
what cathedral introduced buttressing abutments supporting them. With the flying buttress, the weight was carried by the ribs of the
vault entirely outside the structure to a series of counter-supports, which were topped with
stone pinnacles which gave them greater weight. The buttresses meant that the walls could be
higher and thinner, and could have much larger windows.

The exterior[edit]
The west front of the cathedral, built in a single campaign from 1220 to 1236, shows an unusual
degree of artistic unity: its lower tier with three vast deep porches is capped with the gallery of
twenty-two over lifesize kings, which stretches across the entire façade beneath the rose
window. Above the rose window there is an open arcade, the galerie des sonneurs. Flanking

gallery of locally-important saints and large eschatological scenes.

Bourges Cathedral (French: Cathédrale Saint-Étienne de Bourges) is a Roman Catholic church


located in Bourges, France. The cathedral is dedicated to Saint Stephen and is the seat of the
Archbishop of Bourges. It is in the Gothic and Romanesque architectural styles.

The present Cathedral was built as a replacement for a mid-11th-century structure, traces of
which survive in the crypt. The date when construction began is unknown, although a
document of 1195 recording expenditure on rebuilding works suggests that construction was
already underway by that date. The fact that the east end protrudes beyond the line of the

shows that work on the foundations cannot have started before that date. The main phase of
construction is therefore roughly contemporaneous with Chartres Cathedral (begun 1194),
some 200 kilometres (124 miles) to the northwest. As with most Early- and High-Gothic
cathedrals, the identity of the architect or master-mason is unknown.

Beauvais Cathedral 1225 (collapsed choir vault) In the race to build the tallest cathedral in the 13th century, the builders of Saint-Pierre de
Beauvais pushed technology to its limits. Even though the structure was to be taller, the
buttresses were made thinner in order to pass maximum light into the cathedral. In 1284, only
twelve years after completion, part of the choir vault collapsed, along with a few flying
buttresses. It is now believed that the collapse was caused by resonant vibrations due to high
winds.[8]

"Holy Chapel", in the courtyard of the royal palace on the Île de la Cité (now part of a later
administrative complex known as La Conciergerie), was built to house Louis IX's collection of
relics of Christ, which included the Crown of Thorns, the Image of Edessa and some thirty other
items.

The Sainte-Chapelle (French pronunciation: ​[sɛ̃t ʃapɛl], Holy Chapel) is a royal chapel in the
Gothic style, within the medieval Palais de la Cité, the residence of the Kings of France until the
14th century, on the Île de la Cité in the River Seine in Paris, France.

Construction began some time after 1238 and the chapel was consecrated on 26 April 1248.[2]
The Sainte-Chapelle is considered among the highest achievements of the Rayonnant period
of Gothic architecture. It was commissioned by King Louis IX of France to house his collection

medieval Christendom, now hosted in Notre-Dame Cathedral. [3].

Along with the Conciergerie, the Sainte-Chapelle is one of the earliest surviving buildings of
the Capetian royal palace on the Île de la Cité. Although damaged during the French
Revolution, and restored in the 19th century, it has one of the most extensive 13th-century
stained glass collections anywhere in the world.

In French Gothic architecture, Rayonnant (French pronunciation: ​[ʁɛjɔnɑ̃]) was the period
between c. 1240 and 1350, characterized by a shift in focus away from the High Gothic mode of
utilizing great scale and spatial rationalism (such as with buildings like Chartres Cathedral or
the nave of Amiens Cathedral) towards a greater concern for two dimensional surfaces and the
repetition of decorative motifs at different scales. After the mid-14th century, Rayonnant
gradually evolved into the Late Gothic Flamboyant style, although the point of transition is not
clearly defined.

Contemporary with Noyon Cathedral and Notre-Dame de Paris, Laon Cathedral is one of the

stylistic unity and consistency maintained over the different phases of its construction. The
cathedral consists of a cruciform plan with the traditional nave, transepts, and choir, all flanked
by single side aisles. Numerous chapels have been built projecting out the exterior aisle walls.
The nave has twelve bays (including the bay over the organ platform), counterbalanced by the
ten in the choir. Both transepts have four bays. A central lantern tower, the focal point of the
cathedral's interior, rises over the intersection. The ceiling over the choir and the nave (with the
exception of the west end, near the organ) incorporates sexpartite vaulting, while the ceiling in
the transepts incorporates quadripartite vaulting.
