This chapel has a history: It was erected on the site of the birthplace of PEY-BERLAND (1375 - 1458), who was appointed Archbishop of Bordeaux in 1450 by Pope Martin V. Aquitaine was then English, and Henri Plantagenêt, king of England and Guyenne, husband of Eleanor of Aquitaine, gave him considerable powers, even the right of life or death. Pey-Berland built the Cathedral of Bordeaux and created the University of Bordeaux, which, moreover, still bears its arms.
