medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
To Sara Ellis:
A remarkable observation you have made - there are in fact no Danish female
canonized saints between 1120 and the Reformation. You can make your point,
but it takes a profound insight into the social and political life in
medieval Denmark to come up with a credible discourse.
A "Danish" Margrete is a misunderstanding. ALL the existing medieval Danish
calendars have a uniform entry on 20 July: MARGARETE Virginis (mostly 9
lessons) - it is of course *the* St.Margaret [Cf. Grotefend: Margarete v.m.
July 20: Italy, Scandinavia, England, France (with exceptions), and
officially today.]
[A "Translatio Sancte Margarete" on 19 July would probably be Margaret,
Queen of Scotland, canonized 1251, but I doubt that she has found her way
into the liturgy of Roskilde!]
