	The History of the legend of Saint Edmund
		East Anglia, that is Suffolk, Norfolk and most of Cambridgeshire, was an established kingdom based on the Royal House of the Wuffings.
		East Anglia was attacked by the Danes and Ipswich sacked, and so between 1010 and 1014 the Saint's body was taken to London for safety, and then returned.
		The influence of St Edmund, the martyred king of East Anglia, survived the times of Danish domination and the Norman Conquest to become the focal point for the development of one of the greatest abbeys of England, whose abbey church was the largest in Europe, larger even than Norwich, built about the same time.

	Hidden East Anglia
		All that we know for sure is that he came to the throne of East Anglia some time before 865 AD, fought against the invading Danes, was killed by them in the winter of 869, and within 20 years, was being hailed as a saint.
		Some say that Edmund threw down his weapons, vowing to stay true to his people and his faith, and he was seized in his own hall.
		But when the grave was opened, not only was Edmund's body found to be incorrupt, but all the wounds on his body had healed, and all that was left to show where his head had been severed was a thin red crease on the neck.

	The Lives of Ss. Edmund and Fremund: Introduction
		Edmund was originally buried near the site of his martyrdom, but sometime before 945 his body was translated to the monastery at Beodericsworth; it quickly became a significant pilgrimage site, and eventually the town changed its name to Bury St. Edmunds.
		There is some uncertainty as to the place of Edmund's death and first burial: it has traditionally been identified as Hoxne, but the earliest life of Edmund, by Abbo (in the tenth century) more credibly identified the place as Haegelisdun (modern "Hellesdon").
		There is a Hellesdon near Norwich, but it seems unlikely that Edmund would have gone in that direction and to encounter the Danes who were invading from inland and wintering at Thetford (12 miles due north of Bury: OS map reference TL8783), having marched from the north through Mercia.

	Edmund, Martyr-king Of East Anglia
		Edmund, one of the greatest and most famous of the British saints, lived and suffered during the ninth century, one of the most tragic and difficult moments of British history, when the pagan Danes were killing and destroying over a large part of the British Isles.
		No part of the country was more exposed to the pagan attacks than the small kingdom of East Anglia, and the old King Offa of East Anglia resolved to go on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land to pray for the forgiveness of his sins and the safety of his kingdom.
		Edmund was the victor, but at a terrible cost; and as he marched back to Hoxne he resolved to give himself up rather than continue the bloody carnage.

	HISTORY OF BRITAIN, 407-597, by Fabio Barbieri
		Aelfric's account of King Edmund is held to be a hodge-podge of hagiological commonplaces, but such an item as where he died is likely enough to be historical, since it would be so easily transmitted by means of single annalistic entries.
		It cannot however be dated to any time after the first Saxon revolt, which placed East Anglia in a Saxon grip that seems never to have been broken even by the most powerful British kings; and, as we have seen, I am certain that that revolt is dated correctly to 441-442.
		It is extremely likely that some sort of residual Christian life went on among the conquered Romano-British of East Anglia; as seems confirmed, among other things, by the mysterious name of Felixstowe, "sacred place of Felix", an indubitably Roman name pertaining to a place-name which is among the most ancient in the area.
