Saint Sunniva : ウィキペディア英語版
Sunniva

Saint Sunniva (10th century; Old Norse ''Sunnifa'', from Old English ''Sunngifu'') is the patron saint of the Norwegian Diocese of Bjørgvin, as well as all of Western Norway.
Sunniva was venerated alongside her brother Alban, who in Norwegian tradition was identified with Saint Alban, the Roman-era British saint.
==Legend==

''Acta sanctorum in Selio'' is a Latin hagiography of saints Alban and Sunniva and their companions. It is believed to have been composed shortly after 1170.
Oddr Snorrason made use of it in his ''Óláfs saga Tryggvasonar'' (originally in Latin but only extant in Old Icelandic translation), in a section known as ''Albani þáttr ok Sunnifu'' ("tale of Alban and Sunniva", also known as ''Seljumanna þáttr'')〔Hoops 2003, p. 66.〕 Oddr's original work was composed in Latin but only survives in an Old Icelandic translation. The legend was also included in the later ''Óláfs saga Tryggvasonar en mesta''. The tale is directly based on that in ''Acta sanctorum in Selio'', and thus slightly younger, although likely still belonging to the 12th century.〔O'Hara (2009:106).
Oddr's ''þáttr'' is classified in the subgenre of "pagan-contact þættir" alongside ''Sörla þáttr'', '' Tóka þáttr Tókasonar,'' '' Norna-gests þáttr'' and ''Þorsteins þáttr uxafóts''; see also ; this subgenre (without the inclusion of ''Þorsteins þáttr uxafóts'') was first identified in 〕
According to the legend, Sunniva was the heir of an Irish kingdom, but had to flee when an invading heathen king wanted to marry her.
She and her brother Alban (post-Reformation accounts add two sisters, called Borni and Marita) and their followers settle the previously uninhabited islands of Selja and Kinn in Norway during the rule of the pagan Jarl Hákon Sigurðarson (r. 962–995).
Their Norwegian neighbors on the mainland suspect the Christians of stealing sheep and complain to Jarl Hákon. Hákon arrives on Selja with a group of armed men, intending to kill the inhabitants. When the Christians realize what is happening they hide in caves on the island and pray to God to collapse the caves to spare them from being ravaged by Hákon and his men. The caves collapse and kill all the Irishmen.

The legend has two farmers, Tord Eigileivsson and Tord Jorunsson who anchored at Selja to spend the night on a journey to Trondheim, witnessing a supernatural light over the island and discovering a bleached skull with a sweet smell. Arriving in Trondheim, the two men tell their experience to Olaf Tryggvason and bishop Sigurd. After another account of similar events by a different witness,
the king and bishop travelled to Selja and found many sweet-smelling bones. They excavated the cave and recovered the body of Saint Sunniva incorrupt and looking as if the saint were asleep. The bones were collected and placed in a casket, and the body of Sunniva was placed in timber shrine.
