20 November is the feast of Saint Edmund the Martyr. King of Anglia (modern England) in the mid 800’s. Edmunds main goals were to eradicate the plague and defend the country from the invading Danes (Vikings) because of their brutal pillaging and belief in pagans gods.

Edmund was largely successful until 869 when his army was defeated and he was killed in battle.

Saint Edmund, ora pro nobis!
