From these we may pass at once to two churches of well-authenticated date and of purely French style.

Four years nfter her death she was canonized, and in the same year, 12.35, the founda- tion was laid of this beautiful church, Avhich was completed and dedicated forty- eight years afterwards, viz., in 1283.
