Crypte Saint-Oyand
The Crypte Saint-Oyand is a 6th century crypt in Grenoble, France. The Église Saint-Laurent was later built atop the crypt.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
In May 1519, members of the local chapter of the Assassins visited the Crypte Saint-Oyand as part of their search for the clues to the havens Leonardo da Vinci hid in the city.[2] Having used a secret mechanism in the Église Saint-Laurent to unlock a doorway into the crypt, the Assassin went down only to find Leonardo's ally Sir Pierre Taillard, chevalier de Bayard, awaiting to test them.[3] Before the Assassin could even speak, Bayard lunged into combat.[4] Exploiting Bayard's injured shoulder allowed the Assassin to keep up with the French military leader and he eventually stopped the fight, satisfied with the Assassin's performance.[5] Bayard revealed that though Leonardo had mentioned the Assassin was a worthy opponent, he believed that words should be proven with actions. Finally convinced, he then handed them the translucid sheet with a line Leonardo had given him for safe keeping.[6]
