St Germanus hangs a medal around St Genevieve's neck TCD MS177 f52v

The Life of St Alban was compiled and illustrated by Matthew Paris, monk and chronicler of St Albans Abbey. The volume contains texts and documents relating to the history of the abbey, including works on the life and veneration of its patron saint and copies of foundation charters purportedly issued by King Offa of Mercia.

F52v depicts the scene as St Germanus hangs a metal medal around St Genevieve’s neck as a protective sign.
