Saint-Gaultier - Saint-Gaultier
In 1040, the Count de la Marche and the Lord of Chabanais looted and burned down the abbey of Lesterps (Charente). Abbot Gaultier, who was absent during the incident, placed a complaint in Rome, so that the two criminals got excommunicated. In reparation, the Count de la Marche had to provide for the costs of rebuilding the abbey. The Lord of Chabanais had to donate land he owned at the time in Berry
At this land, a church dedicated to Abbé Gaultier was built end of the 11th century for the priory that existed. The village, that developed was named as well after Abbé Gaultier, who died in 1070, and was canonized just three years later.
