Hathumoda

  • ... that the attempt to portray Abbess Hathumoda as a Christian saint after she died failed because everyone knew she could be quite petulant?
  • Source: "The very fact that his portrait of her had to be believable to an audience that knew her in life made it less likely that she would be revered, even by her own family. In spite of Agius’s claims for her character and sanctity, Hathumoda comes across as so human in the VH, in her anxiety and even her occasional petulance, that she fails to live up to the expectations of sanctity established by more traditional hagiographies." Paxton (2009), p. 46

  • The article was made on the 6th, so is new enough. At over 4000 characters, it is long enough. The article properly uses in-line citations and I AGF on the offline source that is the basis for the article. The hook is interesting, short enough, and cited in-line. The QPQ has been done. Looks good to go! SilverserenC 19:29, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
