| Summary: | This article presents information related to the Saint Bernard's family. The portrait left to us by the historians of the Lord of Fontaines, Tescelin le Saure, and his wife, and the entire household in which Saint Bernard grew up, shows us that medieval Christian knighthood was not an empty ideal. Tescelin, however, considered not human respect but justice and truth, and when he appeared on the field he went over to the good bourgeois. When such a good and noble man as this presented himself to Lord Bernard of Montbard asking the hand of his fifteen-year-old daughter Aleth, he was not refused, even though Montbard had destined his daughter for the cloister and all her desires were for the religious life. |
