[MR] BBC: Monastic Glastonbury PR

[Garth Groff via Atlantia]

Noble Friends,

Today the BBC is offering a brief video piece on current research at 
Glastonbury that suggests the monks used some pretty tricky PR skills to 
popularize their abbey to pilgrims. The research debunks the myth of 
King Arthur's grave and suggests they backdated the story of the abbey's 
founding: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-34917890 .

The report doesn't mention the tug-of-war with Canterbury over who had 
the real relics of St. Dunstan. Canterbury won this one when the 
Archbishop ordered Dunstan's tomb opened to prove the point.

Yours Aye,


Lord Mungo Napier, That Crazy Scot
