|
Theodred 3's memory has not been completely lost. The Londoners say that he lived in the time of King Æthelstan 18, that he went at his side to war against Olaf 3, and that, along with Oda 1 bishop of Wiltshire, he prayed for the gift from heaven [so that Æthelstan 18's sword will miraculously return to him during the battle]. His pre-eminent virtues won him the nickname of 'the Good'. He had one lapse (they say), more an error than a crime, in that he handed over to the rigour of execution on the gallows thieves caught at St Edmunds. |

|
When Swein 1 was laying waste all England in the days of Æthelred 32, his threats were equally unrestrained in the territory of St Edmund 6. Swein 1 was gently admonished by the martyr in a dream, and when it did not work, killed him with a blow from a pike. Cnut 3 was aware of the story and therefore built St Edmund's ditch to protect the martyr's lands, and granted many gifts to the monastery. |

Event |

|
Leofstan 24 exposed the incorrupt body of Edmund 6 to the unbelievers, praying to the martyr to have some infirmity in this life rather than punishment in the next. His fingers immediately became deformed. Later he was attacked by other infirmities and sent to Edward 15 for a doctor. Edward 15 sent Baldwin 5, a monk of Saint-Denis, who grew attached to St Edmund 6 and later succeeded Leofstan 24 as abbot. |
