This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

"BEOCCA AND HETHOR, monks and martyrs of Chertsey (Surrey), killed by
the Danes in 870.  The memory of these monks, supposed to be as many
as ninety, was kept alive in fragmentary chronicles and by William of
Malmesbury.  Their deaths, like those of monks of Peterborough,
Bardney, Ely, and Crowland, were believed to be the work of the same
Danish army as that which killed Edmund of East Anglia.  It seems
unlikely that the number of the monks concerned is accurate.  Feast:
10 April.

third edition).
