The short-lived monastery established at Végennes by Archbishop Raoul of Bourges in 856 (Beaulieu XVI). The house's full dedication was to have been SS Pierre, Paul, Étienne, Laurent, Sébastien, Denis, Maurice, Hilaire, Martin, Martial, Élige, Austregisle, Sulpice, Benoît & touts confesseurs, which may explain why it never got off the ground. It was to be run by Raoul in combination with Abbot Silvio of Solignac, but the endowment (in Sarrazac and Végennes itself) is very soon repurposed to provide for the new St-Pierre de Beaulieu. Like Beaulieu, however, the monastery was constituted to be free of family influence and to choose its own abbot and protector.
