Excerpt from Chronique du Mont-Saint-Michel (1343-1468), Vol. 1: Publiée Avec Notes Et Pièces Diverses Relatives au Mont Saint-Michel Et A la Défense Nationale en Basse Normandie Pendant l'Occupation Anglaise
Cc rocher escarpé dont la célèbre abbaye couronne le sommet était devenu, surtout depuis le milieu du x1v° siècle, une véritable place de guerre. Capitaines de cette place en même temps qu'abbés, les religieux qui s'étaient succédé à la tête du monastère pendant le règne de Charles VI, notamment les deux derniers, Pierre le Roy et Robert J olivet, avaient rivalisé de zèle pour compléter les fortifications du mont-saint - Michel. Protégé ainsi par l'art et par la nature, isolé au milieu de grèves dangereuses que recouvre périodiquement le flux de la mer, entouré depuis des siècles de je ne sais quelle terreur religieuse, adossé au midi à la Bre.
