history
Legend has it that Saint Justus de Beauvais was beheaded here (or in Amiens ) in 287 when he was ten years old because of his beliefs by a Roman. His relics can be found all over Europe (also several times). In 1119 the abbey was founded by the bishops of Beauvais, who had one of their residences here between the 12th and 14th centuries. In 1347 the bishops' château was razed.
