Comments

The abbey of Saint-Martin was founded around 590. The feudal coinage began there in the late tenth century as monetary terms the head of Saint-Martin. Count of Maine and Anjou, Henry Plantagenet, seems to have been lay abbot of Saint-Martin. Pretext of the murder of Arthur of Brittany in 1203, Philip Augustus proclaimed in 1204 committed all the possessions of John Lackland, the murderer of the young Arthur, including St. Martin of Tours.
