When, one even- ing, a wagon arrived at Bardeney; bearing the good king's body, they would not open their gates, so the cart was left all night outside the monastery. No sooner was it dark than a wondrous light ema- nated from the bier, and was seen for miles around by all the dwellers in the province, who saw as it were a pillar of glorious light standing over the saint's body and reaching up to heaven. In the morning the monks who had wished to send the relics back to North- umberland were eager to have the royal saint buried in their church. In 697, the Sooth Humbrians rebelled, and murdered Osthrida. She was buried at Bardeney. In 704, Ethelred resigned the throne to Eenred, the son of his brother Wulphere and St Ermenilda, and became a monk at Bardeney. He died there in 715, and was buried beside his wife. Ethelred and Osthrida left a son, Eel- red, who, in 709, succeeded his cousin Ceonred, and married St. Werebubga (2). Bede. British Mart, Ancient Britiah Piety, quoting a Saxon MS.

Ouine du Mans is pro- bably a Breton or Cornish saint whose relics have been placed, on some for- gotten occasion, in the crypt of the church of St. Victor, at Le Mans, where she works miracles in favour of the deaf. She is locally supposed to have been named Ouine on account of her patron- age of the sense of hearing (ouie), but Papebroch thinks that as Engenius has been corrupted into Ouen and Oyan, so Eugenia has become Ouyne, and this metamorphosed name has led deaf persons more than others to seek her intercession. He quotes a history of the bishops of Le Mans by Convaserius. AA,SS. St. Oyne, Eugenia. St. Ozilia of Namur, Jan. 3, April 5. First half of 13th century.
