Der Mont-Saint-Michel kommt auch in der Arthursage vor: Hier soll ein Riese gelebt haben, den Arthur erschlug. Coutances The name of Coutances and much of its importance is derived from Imperial Rome. Its original name was Cosedia, but in 59 BC it was changed to Constantia in honour of the Emperor Constantius Chlorus. The city suffered terribly first at the hands of the Danes and then of Northmen. After a great damage to the city in 9th century, the Bishop of Coutances and his Chapter had to fly to Rouen and the Cathedral city had to stay desolate for 160 years. 10

The second picture shows the church in Bosham. Caen Der Name der Stadt ist altkeltisch und bedeutet soviel wie Schlachtfeld. Obwohl hier schon zur Römerzeit ein kleines Dorf existierte, machte erst Wilhelm Caen zu einer Stadt mit Bedeutung. Sie begann, sich um die trutzige Burg herum und die beiden Abteien, die er errichten ließ, auszudehnen. In den Abteien findet man noch heute die Grabsteine von Wilhelm und seiner Frau, Matilda. 11
