Abbey of Saint-Vaast de Moreuil

[2] The monastery chapel was founded by Bernard I, lord of Moreuil [fr], in 1109 or 1119 and dedicated to the sixth-century saint-bishop Vedast.

The illuminated Psalter–Hours of Yolande de Soissons, wife of Lord Bernard V, contains three celebrations for Saint Vedast: his feast (February 6), his relatio, when his relics were carried in procession (July 15), and his translatio, recalling the transfer of his relics (October 1).

[2][1] In 1574, Cardinal Antoine de Créquy left it a generous legacy.

The abbot by that time was crossé et mitré, that is, entitled to wear episcopal vestments.

[2] By 1709, the monastery had fallen on hard times and lead illegally scavenged from the tombs was sold to pay debts.
