[edit] bishop of Quimper? really

I edited that part of the article. a) there was no bishop of Quimper before 1790 as the bishopric was called Cornouaille then b) St Goueznou is listed as a bishop of Léon, not Cornwall in my sources.--Svartalf (talk) 01:57, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Cornouaille is not Cornwall in England, but a place in Brittany that is apparently the same as Quimper and Leon. Adam Bishop (talk) 03:50, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, not really... Cornouaille, which is the same word as Cornwall, both areas being termed as "Kernev" in Breton and Cornish, designates specifically an area to the SOUTH western part of Brittany, and indeed had Quimper as its capital city, whereas the Northern part belonged to Léon. Two completely different bishoprics before the French revolution... Given the time at which St Goueznou lived, the difference is significant. If you will humor me and consult the French wiki lists of bishops for [[1]] and Léon, you will notice that Goueznou appears on the latter (7th from the top), but definitely not on the former. Distinction between the various bishoprics in Brittany is culturally significant enough that their numbers, respectively for lower and upper Brittany have served to determine the number of white and black stripes on the Flag of Brittany. --Svartalf (talk) 06:08, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Right, sorry...I meant they have since been joined together, but at the time, yes they were separate. (I've been working on a list of medieval bishops and this same situation is really frustrating everywhere in Europe!) Adam Bishop (talk) 16:13, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
