Eadwold was born Шаблон:Circa, the son of Æthelweard of East Anglia[1] and reputed brother of Edmund, king of East Anglia. He left his homeland possibly due to a Viking Invasion, to live as a hermit on a hill about four miles from Cerne, Dorset. William of Malmesbury said he lived on bread and water,[2] and worked many miracles.[3] He is known from the writing of William of Malmesbury and the Hagiographies of St Eadwold of Cerne, by Goscelin of Saint-Bertin and also Secgan.Шаблон:Citation needed

Veneration

Eadwold died on 29 August Шаблон:Circa, at Cerne and is said to have been buried in his cell,[4] and was later moved to a nearby monastery, dedicated to St Peter.[5] His veneration is credited with making Cerne Abbey the third richest in England during the 11th century.[6]

A 2024 study proposed that the Cerne Abbas Giant was created Шаблон:Circa CE, depicting Hercules, as a muster station for West Saxon armies to gather but that by the 11th-century, the figure was being reinterpreted as portraying Eadwold, by the monks at the Abbey.[7]
