Purely on the level of parallel-collecting - Bede's account of the birth
of Abbess Hild and Alcuin's prose Vita Willibrordi both give detailed
descriptions of the pre-natal dreams of the mothers of saints, in which
the future careers of their offspring are suggested in images of rich
jewellery (Hild) and revealing light (Willibrord). And for what it's
worth, both saints are located by their biographers in an Irish-ish
milieu - Bede records Hild's connection with Aidan's mission to the
Northumbrians, and Alcuin Willibrord's twelve-year period of spiritual
maturation in Ireland.
