MAYEUC (MAHIEUC, MAHYEUC), YVES. - Dominican bishop of Rennes, b. at Plouvorn (Finistère, in Brittany) in 1462, d. at Bruz (near Rennes) on 20 Sept. 1541.
He took the religious habit in the convent of N.-D. de Bonne Nouvelle at Morlaix (1483). After completing his studies at Nantes, in 1489 he was sent to Rennes. There the duchess Anne of Brittany chose him as her confessor and wished to have him with her also at the court of France, when she went as bride to Charles VIII (1491) and then to Louis XII (1498), who had likewise become penitents of M. The latter, on the King's proposal, was made in 1504 prior of St. Maximin in Provence, which he governed by means of a vicar, and at the Queen's suggestion he was elected bishop of Rennes (29 Jan. 1507).
Brittany owes in large part to M. its union with the crown of France. But his name is linked especially to the great charity toward his neighbor, which he was able to exercise first as confessor and almoner of the court, then during his long episcopate. Numerous miracles took place at his tomb; a beginning of a process for the introduction of the cause of beatification dates from 1637.
