	EBK: St. Guthlac
		Guthlac was the son of Penwald, a minor prince from the Royal Mercian House of Icling, and his wife, Tette.
		For nine years, Guthlac carried on with this thoughtless way of life until, one night, he had a heavenly dream that instilled him with love and compassion for his fellow man. He made an oath to dedicate his life to the service of the Lord and, in the morning, bade his companions farewell.
		Guthlac's servant, Beccel, was shaving him one day, when he was seized by a desire to cut his master's throat and install himself in his cell, that he might instead be honoured by the locals as a holyman.

	The Power of Music in Medieval Literature -- Brenda Johnstone Flynn
		It is not until Guthlac has accomplished his mission as a warrior that he even considers changing his lifestyle: "Their [his enemies] strength was so sapped at length, after suffering so much pillage and plunder and slaughter at his hands, that they were exhausted and kept the peace perforce" (Felix 177).
		Had Guthlac been cured of his depression simply by singing the psalm, we could attribute his healing to the effect of the music upon him, as was true with David's singing for Saul.
		Guthlac immediately responds with what we now have come to expect: "Finally in answer he began stoutheartedly to sing, as though in prophecy, the words of the psalm, 'The Lord is at my right hand, that I be not moved' [Ps.

	St Guthlac and St Pega, Hermits (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Despite its limited area, Guthlac's cult was important throughout the Middle Ages, and his legend kept developing through the late fourteenth or early fifteenth century when the latest manuscript of the South English Legendary that includes a Life of Guthlac was copied (see Bolton, 170-71).
		The Legendary's version of the Life of Guthlac exists in only three manuscripts because, as Görlach says, the Legendary "is connected with areas outside the restricted area of the Guthlac cult" (159), and is in neither modern edition from EETS.
		I believe that the three versions of the Guthlac material show the signs of oral transmission and that they are the type of work whose source was literate and Latin but which was composed orally in the vernacular.
