KING OSWALD'S ARM
Bamborough, Yorkshire
It was Easter-Tide, and King Oswald of Northumbria sat in the banqueting-hall of Bamburgh
Castle. The tables were laid for the feast, but no sooner had the blessing been pronounced than
news came of the arrival of a group of starving beggars. The King lifted from his table the large
silver dish heaped high with venison and wild boar's flesh, and gave it to the famished men. Bishop
Aidan, impressed by this unselfish act, prayed that the arm which performed the deed might never
decay. Oswald later met his death in battle at Maserfield, but the arm, placed in a magnificent
shrine, remained uncorrupted for nine centuries.
