Event (4)

Church/monastery/minster foundation/dedication/restoration (1)

Ecgwine 1.founding Evesham: Evesham was the foundation of Bishop Ecgwine 1. There had been a little church there from olden days, possibly the work of the British. There Ecgwine 1 spent many watchful nights in solitude, and was found worthy to enjoy the consolation of seeing the Mother of God and speaking with her. She told him explicitly and unambiguously to found her a monastery at that place, a pleasure for her, though a toil for him. : WilliamofMalmesbury.GestaPontificumAnglorum iv.160.1-2

Conversion (1)

Cyneswith 1.converting Offa 3 to monastic life: Cyneswith 1 converted her betrothed, Offa 3, to celibacy and monastic life. On her advice he went off, accompanied by Cenred 2 king of the Mercians and Ecgwine 1 bishop of Hwicce, to Rome. There he was tonsured for a monk, and said goodbye to the world for his lifetime.: WilliamofMalmesbury.GestaPontificumAnglorum iv.180.2

Death/dying (1)

Ecgwine 1.vision: Ecgwine 1 saw a vision from heaven telling him of the death of his friend [Aldhelm 3]. Hurried to Doulting with all speed. He made arrangements for the body to be taken to Malmesbury. Famous indeed was that funeral procession: every seven miles stone crosses were put up; many victims of chronic illness have brought their faith to these crosses and regained their health. : WilliamofMalmesbury.GestaPontificumAnglorum v.229-230.2

Journey (1)

Ecgwine 1.journeys: Bede 1 is for some reasons silent on Ecgwine 1, particularly as he went to Rome with Cenred 2 king of the Mercians and Offa 5 king of the East Angles, a visit that our historian did speak of. If we are to believe the old story, Ecgwine 1 once, knowing himself guilty of sins in his youth, shackled his feet and threw the keys into the river, proclaiming to all and sundry that he would only feel free of his sins when the shackles were unlocked, either by a miracle or with the actual keys. He went to Rome in this state, and came back unscathed. But while he was crossing the strait between Gaul and England, a monster of a fish leapt into the ship carrying the bishop and was trapped there thanks to the valiant efforts of the sailors. They gutted it, and found in its liver a key, which when applied to the lock of the fetters freed the saint, greatly relieving his conscience.: WilliamofMalmesbury.GestaPontificumAnglorum iv.160.1-4
