Melangell

[edit]

i am nominating this for a good topic because i'm proud of the articles and have been told it would make a good GT scope. the three articles in this topic are related to the early medieval Welsh saint Melangell, and all were written by me.

Melangell was an early medieval Welsh hermit and abbess. According to her hagiography, Historia Divae Monacellae, she was an Irish princess who fled an arranged marriage and became a consecrated virgin in the wilderness of the Kingdom of Powys. She supernaturally protected a hare from a prince's hunting dogs, and was granted land to found a sanctuary and convent. She is considered the patron saint of hares, and her cult has been closely centered at St Melangell's Church, where she allegedly founded the monastery.
