History[edit | edit source]
Viking Age[edit | edit source]
During the late 9th century, the cathedral's sanctum was used by the Order of the Ancients Maegester Fulke as her personal study. Circa 874, after luring the Hidden One Basim ibn Ishaq and the Viking Eivor Varinsdottir into a trap at Saint Hadrian's Priory, Fulke ordered her men to bring their corpses to Canterbury. However, the pair survived the ambush and travelled to Canterbury in the hopes of locating Fulke.[2]
They instead found her abandoned study in the cathedral's sanctum, which they proceeded to search for clues. While Eivor found the severed arm of her adoptive brother Sigurd Styrbjornsson, who had been tortured and experimented on by Fulke, Basim found a note confirming that the Maegester had taken Sigurd to Portcestre in Sussex.[2]
Plantagenet period[edit | edit source]
During the 14th century, many Christian pilgrims made their way to the cathedral to visit the shrine of Thomas Becket the venerated archbishop. The pilgrimages were recorded by the poet Geoffrey Chaucer in his collection of stories titled The Canterbury Tales.[3]
