Description |
Cnut 3, successor of Eadgyth 4's brother Æthelred 32, had little respect for English saints. Despite protests of Æthelnoth 43, who was present, he ordered the opening of Eadgyth 4's grave, at which point she emerged as far as the waist, with her face veiled. The frightened king fell over to the ground. |
