 Since "Vaceti" is another name for the Vascones, this reference is evidence of Basque (Gascon) settlement or control of the islands by that date.In 745, Hunald, the Duke of Aquitaine, retired to a monastery on the island.In the mid-twelfth century, a Cistercian monastery was founded on the isle, where the Abbot Isaac of Stella sojourned amid the Becket controversy.
