medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture My guess would also be St Catherine of Alexandria. Although she normally has a wheel this is not always the case, especially in Somerset in England (according to Woodforde, Stained Glass in Somerset, 1250–1830, London, 1946 ) Best wishes.

Elin/Helena of Skövde nearly always carries a book and a sword, but unfortunately never a crown. So, I'd also assume it's Catherine of Alexandria (popular in some areas of Scandinavia).

No sign of a wheel, dragon, or any such useful unique attribute!
