Oh God, it's Kevin 'it's not fair' the teenagerWho is this man ?
I was surprised recently when visiting Aosta that it was the birthplace of a person I regularly lecture about.
He was born in Aosta in 1033, and is probably the most famous person ever born there.
He fled to France after an argument with his father, became a monk and ended up as the Archbishop of Canterbury. He wrote what he considered to be a 'proof' of the existence of God, which is known in Philosophical circles as the "Ontological argument"
One of the main roads in the town is named after him.
So who is he ?
