Huna of Thorney was a seventh century Saint〔Secgan II.27 (saint)〕 Priest and Hermit.〔J. Fairweather Liber Eliensis: a history of the Isle of Ely from the seventh century to the twelfth (Woodbridge 2005) I.15; I.18-23〕 His influence in the Northumbrian and Anglian courts make him an important figure in the Christianisation of Anglo-Saxon England. Huna was a Chaplain for saint Æthelthryth〔Anon.LiberEliensis I.22 (679).〕 the daughter of Anna of East Anglia, Queen of Ecgfrith, king of the Northumbrians and the Abbess of Ely and he gave Æthelthryth advice pertaining to salvation and talked to her about the teachings and deeds of the saints.〔Anon.LiberEliensis I.15〕 He also conducted her funeral.〔Liber Eliensis Janet Fairweather (trans) (Boydell Press, 2005) ( I.22 (679) ).〕 After her death, Huna left Ely to become a hermit on an island in the fens called Huneia.〔William Watson (F.A.S.), An historical account of the ancient town and port of Wisbech, in the Isle of Ely, in the county of Cambridge: and of the circumjacent towns and villages, the drainage of the great level of the fens, the origin of the royal franchise of the Isle of Ely ( H. and J. Leach, 1827) ( page 575 ).〕 He was considered a holy man and his grave on the small island was known for producing healing miracles.〔( St Huna, Priest of Ely - Michelle Ziegler )〕 Later Huna's relics were translated from Huneia to Thorney,〔Anon.LiberEliensis I.22〕 at the time more a collection of hermit cells than a monastic institution.〔Magna Britannia;: Being a Concise Topographical Account of the Several Counties of Great Britain, Volume 2, Part 1 (Google eBook) Samuel Lysons (T. Cadell and W. Davies, 1808) ( page 266 ).〕 His Feast day is 13 February.〔( Huna ) in The Oxford Dictionary of Saints.〕 ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Huna of Thorney」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
