Les sépultures dans la propagande des ordres mendiants : quatre tombes de cardinaux à Lyon au XIIIe siècle
Résumé
Several cardinals were buried in Lyon during the 13th century, although no grave has been preserved. Two cardinals who died right after the first council of Lyon were buried by the Dominican church : Ottone of Tonengo (†1250 or 1251) and William of Sabina (†1251). Géraud de Frachet’s Cronica ordinis gives important information about the location of their burials in the church and about the hagiographic narrative they gave birth to. The Dominican cardinal Hugh of Saint-Cher (†1263) as well received a privileged burial in the convent of Lyon, near the main altar. The burial of the cardinal Bonaventure (†1274) by the Friars Minor of Lyon represents an opposite case : the Franciscains didn’t valorize the tomb of this controversial Minister General, and his memory remained inconspicuous in the Order’s chronicles.
