Note

While Anzy-le-Duc was not affiliated with Cluny but with Saint-Martin in Autun, its east end is similar to that of the Cluniac dependency, Charlieu. The floor plan of Charlieu is considered to be closely related to Cluny II. Studies of the church buildings types in Burgundy provided by Vallery-Radot and Armi suggest that art historians have overemphasized the importance of Cluny III on architectural and sculptural styles in the early twelfth century. Although Cluny was a rich and powerful abbey in the region and beyond, it is imprudent to suggest that it is the source for all building types in France. Cluny is simply the best known and documented example of a style that was prevalent in the early twelfth century.
