A blush doodle of blood-eagled King Edmund the Martyr.
(Because I wanted to use all the remaining ink in a dish. :-B)

Edmund's Day

Oh.
I totally forgot to celebrate Saint Edmund the Martyr's Day (November 20th), too.

King Edmund of East Anglia got tortured (some say he was even Blood-Eagle'd), shot with arrows like a hedgehog and beheaded by Dane Vikings.

Poor Ed.
RIP.
