Description	Once during an Easter feast at the royal court at Westminster Edward 15 received a vision of the Seven Sleeping saints, that they turned on their left side and would lie thus for seventy-four years, after which many things written in the Gospel would come to pass. Harold 3 was very surprised by the vision and sent ambassadors to Ephesus, Greece, to see the saints, which indeed took place.
