Edmund 6 worked miracles: his head, lost in the bushes, spoke to Anonymi 1738 and thus was found; a wolf guarded his body; when forgotten by the locals, Edmund 6 appeared to them in visions and dreams and healing the blind; his head grew back on to the body, the previous injury marked by a scarlet scar; the dead man's hair and nails continued to grow, and a holy woman Oswynn 1 would every year trim them; a youth called Leofstan 3, who demanded to see the martyr's body to test his sanctity, went mad and soon died. Edmund 6 was venerated even by kings, who used to send him their royal crowns and then buy them back for large sums of money. |
