A Monk Has Died: His Life Begins. Poppo, Abbot of Stavelot-Malmedy, died 1048 - 2002.
41
Poppo, abbot of Stavelot-Malmedy died in the Abbey of Marchiennes in Hainaut on January 25, 1048. The scene of the saint's death, in a grandiose description by his hagiographer some ten years later, deserves close examination, as does his funeral, at the threshold of his "rebirth" into eternal life and sainthood ( dies natalis). The Vita Popponis follows the rules of the hagiographic genre, in which the monk's death is given prominence.
