St. Mungo

Heavenfield, my favorite living medievalist, had a post up about St. Mungo--whom the hospital in Harry Potter is named after, you know. I'd always wondered if that could possibly be a real name or if Rowling just made it up, but apparently she didn't. She generally doesn't.

And, appropriately enough, St. Mungo is associated in legend with Merlin!
