medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography's 'life of the day' for 21 February is King Harthacnut [Hardecanute] (c.1018-1042). While not strictly a religious figure, the biography contains references to translation of relics, prophetic visions, grants to religious houses, simoniacal appointment of bishops and disputes with bishops; and may, therefore, be of some interest to some list members. To access the biography, follow the links below. If the day has passed you will be able to search back through this week's lives to find it.
