Abstract

Antichrist and Blasphemer - Bernard d'Angers (I. 12) uses the invective « antichrist » to designate a lord making a claim for property against Sainte-Foy of Conques. He terms « blasphemer » a vassal who staunchly defends the lord, thus making the divine vengence more expressive and deserved. Using sources such as biased and coded chronicles and hagiographies, some historians tend to render the year 1000 too dramatic. Their illusions, encouraged by Michelet and Duby, should henceforth give way to a more authentic history.
