St Edward redirects here. Was Edward the Confessor also canonised? fr: seems to believe he was-- fr:Édouard le Confesseur "et le fait d'être ensuite sanctifié". Marnanel 00:47, Apr 27, 2004 (UTC)
- Edward the Confessor was canonized in 1161. -Nunh-huh 00:55, 27 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Under the section: "Motive and details of his murder" there is a quote: "King Edward, 'was a young man...'" that lacks any sort of attribution. I assume that since it is contained in quotation marks and is an opinionated statement that it is meant to inform the reader of a notable individual's opinion. Without a source for the quotation, however, it becomes difficult to judge what it is supposed to represent. -Chris 02:19, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Why in the world were his remains deposited with an Orthodox church? Or was the finder Orthodox? --Michael K. Smith 19:30, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
Can anyone confirm that his remains are with the church? It is often said (even by serious historians) that his relics are kept in a vault in the Midland Bank in Croydon because of an unresolved dispute about which of two churches should have them. Richard75 19:32, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
