Quote of the day

Bishop Hugh of Lincoln built up a relic collection of fabled size and quality. He needed frisking on leaving any shrine for he was always trying to break bits off bodies, on one occasion biting a fragment out of Mary Magdalene's arm before slipping it to his chaplain in classic pickpocket mode.


David Carpenter The Struggle for Mastery; The Penguin History of Britain 1066-1284 p454
