Capitolo 8
on to look in the architectural study of M. Corroyer that is the head
source of the whole knowledge of one with the Mountain, one learns that
these benches were built in 1058. Four out of five American
tourists will immediately recall the only date of history of mediaeval
they ever knew, the date of the Norman Conquest. Eight years later
these benches were built, in 1066, Duke William of Normandy raised a
army of forty thousand men in these parts, and in northern France,
