Abstract

This article provides a comparative analysis of the medieval cults of SS Mildred and Augustine at the abbey of St Augustine in Canterbury, England. The author argues that while Augustine was widely recognized as a saint in medieval England, Mildred’s cult was of equal importance at the abbey in the post-conquest period. By examining the placement of their eleventh-century shrines, hagiographies, charters, and later testamentary evidence, the article shows the complementary nature of these two saints’ cults.
