SAINT YON , a family of Parisian butchers in the 14th and 15th
century
 . Guillaume de Saint Yon is cited as the richest butcher of the Grande Boucherie in the 14th
century
 . Thefamily played an important role during the quarrels of the Armagnacs and Burgundians. They were among the leaders of the Cabochian revolution of 1413. Driven out by the Armagnacs, they recovered their influence after the return of the Burgundians to Paris in 1418, but had to flee again in 1436 when the constable, Arthur,
earl
  of Richmond, took the city.
Garnier
  de Saint Yon was echevin of Paris in 1413 and 1419;
Jean
  de Saint Yon, his brother, was valet de chambre of the dauphin Louis, son of King Charles VI. Both were in the service of the king of England during the
English
  domination. Richard de Saint Yon was master of the butchers of the Grande Boucherie in 146o.
See A. Langnon, Paris pendant la domination anglaise (Paris, 1878) ; A. Colville, Les Cabochiens et l'ordonnance de 1413.
ST YRIEIA, a town of west central France,
capital
  of an arrondissement in the department of Haute-Vienne, on the left bank of the Loue, 26 m. S. of
Limoges
  on the railway to Brive. Pop. (1906) town 3604, commune 7916. The town possesses a
church
  in the early
Gothic
  style known as Le Moiltier, dating from the 12th and 13th centuries, and a tower of the 12th century which is a relic of its fortifications. Its quarries of
kaolin
  discovered in 1765 were the first known in France. The town owes its name to Aredius (popularly St Yrieix) who in the 6th century founded a monastery to which its origin was due.
