Comment
In 1168, on the ruins of the Roman forum, a chapel was built at Fourvière by Olivier de Chavannes, a canon of Saint-Jean. The small chapel, built "apud forum Venerisnote", was dedicated first to Saint Thomas and then to the Virgin. It was richly endowed, and entrusted to the chapter of Saint-Jean which served it. Archbishop Jean Belles-mains endowed it in 1192 with its own chapter, counting four canons; this generosity also allowed him to have a free hand for the construction of the primatial church. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basilique_Notre-Dame_de_Fourvi%C3%A8rePrice
