France, Provincial. Priory of Souvigny. Anonymous. mid-late 12th century AR denier (19.4 mm, 0.98 g, 2 h). Scarce. SES MAIOLVS,facing bust of St. Mayeul holding crozier to right/?SILVINIACO, cross pattée. Duplessy 784; Poey d'Avant 2170; Roberts 4916.According to Wikipedia: "In the 10th century Aymar sire de Bourbon gave land in Souvigny to Cluny Abbey for the construction of a monastery." Some years later, two distinguished abbots of Cluny, Mayeul of Cluny and Odilo of Cluny (Odilon de Mercoeur), came here to die, one after the other, and were buried here. This made the priory a place of pilgrimage: even Hugh Capet, King of France, came here in 994 after the death of Mayeul. The church was rebuilt to accommodate the increasing numbers of worshippers, on the model of Cluny III, including two transepts, a choir with an ambulatory, and three towers. The Dukes of Bourbon made it their place of burial. Many chapels were added, and the upper parts of the church were rebuilt, with cross vaults.
