Born in Brittany c. 1250 Yves of Treguier became a popular judge and was sanctified for his spirit of justice and conciliation.
Once a case came before him brought by a rich man against a poor man. The rich man claimed, he was entitled to recompense as a poor man had the benefit of smelling the food from the rich man's table.
Saint Yves agreed the rich man was entitled to judgement.
Calling for a coin he clicked it on the table saying, that the poor man had the benefit of the smell of the food, the rich man must be satisfied with the sound of the coin.
