St Edmund – from King to Legend
More Information
This showing will be followed by a live Q&A with Christian Horsnell, the filmmaker behind this documentary.
Saint Edmund – The original Patron Saint of England.
150 years after his violent death at the hands of Danish invaders, an Abbey is founded in Edmund’s name, in the town of Beodericsworth, by the first Danish king of England.
The period following his death saw huge conflict, intrigue and both political and religious transformation. It is against this backdrop that Edmund’s legacy is written.
Through re-enactment, graphical maps and interview with historian Dr Francis Young we hear the story of how Edmund went from fallen king to mythical hero. We learn how his legend helped to create the Kingdom of England and discover the events, through which, the town of Bury St Edmunds was born, 1000 years ago.
