Saint-Evroul-sur-Ouche

Saint-Evroul-sur-Ouche ("Saint-Evroult-sur-Ouche, Saint-Evroul-en-Ouche, Saint-Evroult-en-Ouche, Abbaye de Saint-Evroult, Sanctus Ebrulphus Uticensis [ [http://www.tertullian.org/articles/oehler_praefatio_eng.htm Tertullian: Q. S. F. Tertullianus, All Works That Survive ed. Franz Oehler ] ] ") is an abbey in Normandy. Its name refers to its founder, Ebrulf (Evroul), who founded a hermitage in the forest of Ouche around 560 AD. The abbey was rebuilt around 1000 AD.

Robert de Grantmesnil served as abbot of Saint-Evroul, which he helped restore in 1050. He had become a monk at Saint-Evroul [Orderic Vitalis, Forester translation, vol. I, p, 400] before becoming its abbot [Orderic Vitalis, Forester translation, vol. I, p, 422] .

Orderic Vitalis entered the abbey as a young boy and later wrote a history of the abbey.

Musical tradition

Normandy was the site of several important developments in the history of Western music in the eleventh century. Fécamp Abbey and Saint-Evroul were centres of musical production and education. At Saint Evroul, a tradition of singing had developed and the choir achieved fame in Normandy. After entering into a violent quarrel with William II of Normandy, Robert de Grantmesnil had been forced to flee to Rome in January 1061 and thence to the court of Robert Guiscard in Salerno, taking with him eleven of his monks, including his nephew Berengar. In his time, Saint-Evroul was famed for its musical programme and these eleven monks brought its musical traditions to the abbey of Sant'Eufemia in Calabria, a foundation of the Guiscard's, of which Robert became abbot. [Joranson, 390.]
