St. Winefride, beheaded by a lustful suitor, was brought back to life by the power of prayer. On the site where her blood was spilled, a spring of healing water erupted and became the focus of a miracle-working cult which gained influence throughout the Middle Ages and the early modern period. Two Medi¾val Lives of Saint Winefride brings together two twelfth-century accounts of her life, miracles and relics, with a study of British well-cults and her significance in medi¾val and early modern Britain.

Excerpt from The Life of Saint Winefride: Virgin and Martyr, Based on the Acts Compiled by the Bollandist Fathers Fathers, sj. These Acts have been compiled with the greatest care, and after minute research into all available sources Of information. Some of the results of these investigations are given in the following pages without wearying the reader by references to authorities. These are all given in the original Acts. The Life by Robert Of Shrewsbury, given here in full, was published in English in 163 5, by a Father of the Society of Jesus, but it is now hardly to be met with, and the style is very antiquated. One quotation from this Author's Preface may not be deemed out of place here. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
