|
A council was held by the elders (Anonymi 215) and licence was given by Bishop Eadberht 3 to raise the relics of Cuthbert 1. They found a thing marvellous to relate, namely that the whole body was as undecayed as when they had buried it. |
 |
Event |
Anon.VitCuthberti iv.15 |
|
A certain father (Anonymous 25) brought his son (Anonymous 24) who was afflicted with a demon to Lindisfarne. There a man of faith (Cynemund 3) gave the boy some water in which he had sprinkled some of the earth from the trench where the water used to wash the body of Cuthbert 1 had been poured. |

|
A demoniac boy (Anonymous 24), who could not be healed by a priest (Tydi 2) sent form Lindisfarne, was taken to the monastery by his father (Anonymous 25). There the holy martyrs of God would not grant him any cure. Then, another priest (Cynemund 3) took a small particle of earth on which water had been poured when Cuthbert 1's dead body had been washed. He put the earth in water, brought it to the patient and poured it into his mouth. |
 |
Event |
Bede.VitCuthbertiPr 42 |
|
Cuthbert 1 put into the hearts of his brethren to take his bones and to put them in a light chest in the same place, but above the floor. Eadberht 3 agreed and told them to do that on the anniversary of his burial. When they opened the grave, they found his body to be intact and whole. |

According to Boniface 5's report, these matrons or veiled women kept on going back and forth to Rome. A great part of them would perish and few of them would keep their virtue. For this reason, there were very few towns in Lombardy, Francia or Gaul where there was not an English prostitute. |

|
Many of the early English saints were discovered by King Edmund 14 on his northern expedition, disinterred, and sent to Glastonbury, among them: Hild 1, abbess of the monastery once called Streneshalh and now Whitby - Bede 1 in his History rated her highly; also Ceolfrith 1, abbot of Monkwearmoth, to whom the same Bede 1 devoted a special book. He died at Langres, on extremely old age, while on his way to Rome, but later brought back. Also some of the bones of Aidan 1, first bishop of Lindisfarne. His other bones were taken by Colmán 1 to Scottia; Bede 1 is again our authority. Praise is given at Glastonbury to the confessor Benignus 1, a local hermit, whose remarkable miracles inspired the monks nearby to venerate and translate him. In the house [of Glastonbury] are buried King Edmund 14, the renewer of the place, and his son King Edgar 11, who, remembering his father with gratitude, crowned his gifts with the grant of expensive properties. |

|
Alcuin 1 in his letters to bishop Hygebald 3 and king Æthelred 7 alluded to the devastation of Lindisfarne by the Danes. |
 |
Event |
WilliamofMalmesbury.GestaPontificumAnglorum iii.129 |
|
Because of the attacks of the Danes it was decided that the bodies of the saints should be removed to the mainland from Lindisfarne. The body of St Cuthbert 1 was nearly taken to Ireland, but a strong wind brought the ship back. So it was interred with due honour at Ubbenford [Norham], on the river Tweed. There it lay for many years, until the arrival of King Æthelred 7 on the scene, though Cuthbert 1 had not in the interval been inactive in helping his countrymen, but had wandered all over England working miracles. |
