I hadn't realized that that's where the name "St. Savior" comes from, but it makes sense; it always seemed rather redundant to me. <br /><br />St. Crispin's saving from complete obscurity reminds me a little of St. Erkenwald, whose name I doubt anyone would have mentioned for the past 400 years if Edward Hall hadn't chosen to write that Henry VIII married Anne Boleyn on St. Erkenwald's Day. Not that Hall's Chronicle is quite on the level of Henry V, but it's still read by enough people that at least a few will wonder "Who was Erkenwald, anyway?"Sonetkahttp://anneboleynnovels.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
