Revenant (medieval England)

Juga dipanggil: revenant, walking dead

Cerita rakyat dan mitosMayat hidupBerbeza-bezaKematian atau pengebumian yang tidak elokZaman Pertengahan

Twelfth-century English chroniclers, among them Geoffrey of Burton, Walter Map and William of Newburgh, record a cluster of cases in which a buried corpse walked at night and brought death to its neighbours. The stories are told as recent local news, with named bishops and archdeacons called in to rule on them. The remedies, digging up the body and beheading, burning or absolving it, are the same ones later used against vampires in central Europe. Scholars read these revenants as the product of a failed death, a person stuck between the living and the dead who has to be forcibly moved on.1 2

Apa yang menyebabkannya

Kematian atau pengebumian yang tidak elok

Clerical writers tie the return to a 'bad death': a sinful or excommunicate life, or dying suddenly without confession and last rites.

The chroniclers describe intact, sometimes blood-filled bodies, not apparitions1 2

Its presence corrupts the air and is blamed for epidemics1 2

William of Newburgh thought the cases were a recent phenomenon and too numerous to list1 2

Bishops disagreed over the cure: Hugh of Lincoln preferred absolution to burning1 2

Later accounts, such as a Clydesdale case in the Lanercost chronicle, show the belief persisting unevenly1 2
