Comments

The abbey of Saint-Maurice d'Agaune (Acaunum), in Valais, was founded in 515 by Sigismond, King of Burgundians, on the site of an ancient sanctuary housing the relics of Saint Maurice. After the end of the Burgundian kingdom, the abbey became one of the most important monasteries of the Frankish kingdom.
