Note to Anon Heil 5VII

[5-8]: There does not appear to be any parallel for either Edmund’s repression of lust or his mortification of the flesh (see st. 6) in the English, Lat. and French lives (McKeehan 1972). What is claimed in st. 6 about Edmund’s secret mortification of the flesh while outwardly indulging in expensive showy clothes is a feature of the life of Thomas Becket and may possibly have been attracted from there to the sts about Edmund.
