A recently discovered manuscript found in the history archives has shed light on an ancestor of one of the history department's greatest servants. Hidden under a pile of photocopied essays on Hard Biscuit in the Navy of Admiral Byng that had been written under the aegis of Bishop Shoard in the 19th century, this early medieval saint's life sheds light on the social and economic world of the Saint as well as giving us an insight on the intellectual issues facing men at that time.
