 Britannia Biographies: Geoffrey Plantagenet, Archbishop of York
Geoffrey, at last, consented to accept their nomination which was, shortly afterwards, confirmed by King Richard I. Geoffrey was then ordained priest; but it was not until the 18th August 1191 that he was consecrated Bishop in the Church of St. Maurice at Tours by the Archbishop of that see.
The Pope, Celestine, at the instance of the canons, issued a commission of inquiry in 1195, at the head of which was the Bishop of Lincoln.
The result was the suspension of Archbishop Geoffrey by the Pope; but that suspension was reversed and a sentence given altogether in Geoffrey's favour upon his personal appeal to Rome.

 July 2004 Contemplatives in Action, a quarterly publication by the Sisters of Mt. Carmel - Lacombe, LA
On December 4, 1824, Father Boutelou presented to the Archbishop of Tours, the first Rule of "the Daughters of Our Lady of Mount Carmel." The rule was approved on December 10, 1824.
The interesting part is that Mother Thérèse Chevrel, writing to her sisters at Bourgueil in 1873, says: "We are still observing the same Rule and Constitutions as we had in France," which seems to indicate that there must have been few changes made.
It was then that they were asked by the Archbishop to change their name to Sisters of St. Martin of Tours and their new cross, although similar to the original one, has a different design.
