The Lives of Saint Malo, written between the 9th and 11th centuries, trace the life of the saint and the formation of the bishopric of Alet. The authors pursue distinct objectives : Bili defends the belonging of Alet to the ecclesiastical province of Tours, while the Anonymous supports the link with the bishopric of Dol. Detached from the figure of Saint Malo, these Lives of Saints offer, in the background, a topography of the sacred and territorial stakes. The confrontation of hagiographic, diplomatic and archaeological sources sheds light on the genesis of the bishopric of Alet and the constitution of its temporalities in the Carolingian era.
