Saint of the day: St Sigfrid, an Eleventh Century Bishop of York, was sent to sort out the wicked Swedes. Arriving with his three nephews, he started work by converting the Swedish king. Soon after, his nephews were murdered and he is shown in art holding their heads. This doesn't say much for the artists involved as the heads are often mistaken for loaves of bread.
