Crypt of Worcester Cathedral
Crypt of Worcester Cathedral

Nicholas of Worcester (died 1124) was the prior of the Benedictine priory of Worcester Cathedral (crypt pictured) from about 1115 until his death. He was born around the time of the Norman Conquest. It is not known who his parents were, but William of Malmesbury wrote that he was "of exalted descent", and it has been argued that he was a son of King Harold Godwinson. Nicholas was the favourite pupil of Wulfstan, the bishop of Worcester, who brought him up. Wulfstan was influential in transmitting Old English culture to Anglo-Norman England, and Nicholas carried on this work as prior. He was respected by the chroniclers William of Malmesbury, John of Worcester and Eadmer for his assistance with their histories. Nicholas was an English monk at a time when both Englishmen and monks rarely received promotion in the church, and when Bishop Theulf of Worcester died in October 1123, Nicholas led an unsuccessful attempt of the monks of the priory chapter to be allowed to choose the next bishop.

Picture of the day for May 28, 2024
Acraea terpsicore

Acraea terpsicore, commonly known as the tawny coster, is a species of butterfly in the Nymphalidae family, the brush-footed butterflies. It is found across eastern Asia from India and Sri Lanka to Singapore, Indonesia and the Maldives and, more recently, Australia. It is small, with a size of 53–64 millimetres (2.1–2.5 in), has leathery wings and is common in grassland and scrub habitats. Acraea terpsicore has a weak fluttery flight and is avoided by most insect predators. This A. terpsicore individual was photographed in Komodo National Park, Indonesia.

It's been a while since I've edited one of these, so I'm not sure if there's a heavier process than before. Anyway, I'd suggest adding this anniversary:

It's the tenth anniversary, so there's likely to be news stories that will generate interest and perhaps more sourced material. -- RobLa (talk) 04:39, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For a selected, bolded article, I could put Chagai-I up, but do not be surprised if someone takes it down for being too short. Cheers. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 05:43, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
