St. Edmund the Martyr (d. 869) was a martyred King of the East Angles. He was elected King in 855 at the age of fourteen and began ruling Suffolk, England. In 869 or 870, the Danes invaded Edmund's realm, and he was captured at Hone, in Suffolk. After extreme torture, Edmund was beheaded and died calling upon Jesus. His shrine brought about the town of Bury as St. Edmund's. He is depicted as crowned and robed as a monarch, holding a scepter, orb, arrows, or a quiver.


St. Edmund please pray for us to have just rulers who are following your will on earth.


Patron of: Kings, Pandemics, Torture victims, and wolves.
