HTS local knowledge
St Anselm was born near Valtournenche in 1033. At this time the area belonged to the Kingdom of Burgundy (indeed even today many people in the area still speak French). He was a pupil of Lanfranc of Bec, who held the position of Archbishop of Canterbury under William the Conqueror. St Anselm was consecrated Archbishop in 1093, following the death of Lanfranc, and held the position until his death in 1109.
