Mærwynn, also known as St. Merewenna or Merwinna, was a 10th-century saint and abbess of Romsey Abbey. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://eucharistandtruth.com/st-merewenna/ )〕〔Alban Butler, Paul Burns, ''Butler's Lives of the Saints'', Volume 10 (Alban Butler, Paul Burns, A&C Black, 1995) ( page 30 )〕 ==Life== Legend has it that she was born in Ireland and educated by St. Patrick, but five centuries separate them. She is known more historically from a Charter of Edgar the Peaceable, the Liber Vitae of the New Minster〔The Liber Vitae of the New Minster, Winchester Fol 26r.20.ix〕 and the Secgan Manuscripts Hagiography.〔The secganManuscript II.34〕 She was the Abbess of Romsey (fl 967 – 975 AD), and there is some certainty that she was appointed to the position of abbess by King Edgar the Peaceable on Christmas day in 974.〔Thomas Perkins, ( Bell's Cathedrals: A Short Account of Romsey Abbey ) (Project Guttenberg, 2007) p. 70.〕 King Edgar sent Aelfflaed, his daughter,〔(The Abbey Church of St. Mary & St. Aethelfla )〕 to Mærwynn for care, and she became like a foster mother to the princess.〔The Liber Vitae of the New Minster, Winchester Fol 26r.20.ix〕〔The secgan Manuscript II.34〕 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「Mærwynn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
