Saints' cults flourished in the medieval world, and the phenomenon
is examined here in a series of studies. The way in which saints'
cults operated across and beyond political, ethnic and linguistic
boundaries in the medieval British Isles and Ireland, from the
sixth to the sixteenth centuries, is the subject of this book. In a
series of case studies, the contributions highlight the factors
that allowed particular cults to prosper in, or that made them
relevant to, a variety of cultural contexts. The collection has a
particular emphasis on northern Britain, andthe role of devotional
interests in connecting or shaping a number of polities and
cultural identities (Pictish, Scottish, Northumbrian, Irish, Welsh
and English) in a world of fluid political and territorial
boundaries. Althoughthe bulk of the studies are concerned with the
significance of cults in the insular context, many of the articles
also touch on the development of pan-European devotions (such as
the cults of St Brendan, The Three Kings or St George).
