Opis

Old English Lives of Saints, a series composed in the 990s by the Benedictine monk Aelfric, portrays an array of saints-including virgin martyrs, kings, soldiers, and bishops-whose examples modeled courageous faith, self-sacrifice, and individual and collective resistance at a turbulent time when England was under severe Viking attack.
