medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Today's Oxford Dictionary of National Biography's Life of the Day is Edmund
I (920/1-946) by Ann Williams. Plenty of interest for those interested in
religion in Anglo-Saxon England: Glastonbury, incl translation of
Northumbrian saints there; founding and sacking of churches; female piety;
archbishops as peace negotiators, etc.
To read this and other lives of this week, follow the links below.
I'm off to Corsica (anything medieval I 'must see'?) on Sunday for a week,
so I hope I do not miss any good lives for you in that time.
Regards,
Rosemary Hayes
