Abbey of Saint-Étienne, Caen The Abbey of Saint-Étienne, also known as Abbaye aux Hommes ("Men's Abbey") by contrast with the Abbaye aux Dames ("Ladies' Abbey"), is a former Benedictine monastery in the French city of Caen, Normandy, dedicated to Saint Stephen. It was founded in 1063 by William the Conqueror and is one of the most important Romanesque buildings in Normandy.
Nolasco The first member of the Nolasco family was "Guillaume de Nolasque", a Norman noble who participated in the siege of Nola, in southern Italy, in the eleventh century. Legend has it that, such was his bravery, that he was nicknamed by his fellows "Nolasque" or "Nolasc", which means, in the Italian-Norman medieval dialect, ""the man of Nola"". Guillaume later returned to Normandy and built the Nolasque castle, in Cotentin. He was the husband of Oremburge, a daughter of Serlo I of Hauteville, and had three sons: Geoffroy (1st sire of Vignats), Nicholas (canon in Rouen) and Roger (who stayed in Toulouse, and was the ancestor of saint Peter Nolasco).
