A Dictionary of Saintly Women/Brigid (17)
St. Brigid (17) of Glastonbury, a recluse at Glastonbury, whose necklace and other relics were shown there in the time of William of Malmesbury (11th century), and were supposed to have belonged to St. Brigid of Ireland. Later critics and investigators say this was another saint, whose memory is swallowed up in the fame of her great namesake.
