	St Helena History, 1502 - 1821
		Helena is often referred to as the lost county of England: not a shire county, such as Somerset or Yorkshire, but the older designation of certain cities and their districts, very similar to what are now known as borough counties.
		The remoteness of St. Helena made it attractive to the powers of Europe as a place of exile for Napoleon, and he was confined at Longwood on the island from October 1815 until his death in May 1821.
		The fortunes of St. Helena changed drastically with the exile of Napoleon: a large garrison was established on the island and naval ships were on constant patrol in case of a rescue attempt.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Helena
		It is also clear from the declaration of the contemporary historian of the Church that Helena, from the time of her conversion had an earnestly Christian life and by her influence and liberality favoured the wider spread of Christianity.
		If Helena conducted herself in this manner while in the Holy Land, which is indeed testified to by Eusebius, Bishop of Caesarea in Palestine, we should not doubt that she manifested the same piety and benevolence in those other cities of the empire in which she resided after her conversion.
		The Sessorium, which was near the site of the Lateran, probably served as Helena's residence when she stayed in Rome; so that it is quite possible for a Christian basilica to have been erected on this spot by Constantine, at her suggestion and in honour of the true Cross.
