The saint's cult casts light on relations between Cornwall and
Brittany - and Henry II's empire - in the 12th century. The
historical, political, ecclesiastical, and religious relationships
between medieval Cornwall, Brittany, Wales, Ireland and England are
explored here through a study of the cult of St Petroc. Evidence
for the cult in each areais thoroughly surveyed, but Cornwall and
Brittany, the most important loci of the cult and most closely
linked by language and culture, are the book's primary focus. The
implications of the cult of a Celtic saint [generallyan intensely
local phenomenon] shared between Cornwall and Brittany are
discussed, and attention is given to the highly
politically-directed twelfth-century account of the furtive
translation of the saint's relics to Brittany, which offers
invaluable evidence for relations between Cornwall and Brittany,
and also for Brittany's position in the Angevin empire of Henry II.
