While the rulers of the Angles, Saxons, Britons, Picts, and Scots continued to squabble among themselves, in the province of Northern Hibernia a family home was possessed by a demon who left a great stench of fumes. Yet, instead of asking for help from the saints of God – or some sort of fumigation which probably would have done the trick – the family turned to a foreign necromancer from overseas. The necromancer said this was the ghost of a former dux of that province but all sane saw the presence of the tares of Satan. The necromancer claimed to have chased the demon away and, I am sad to say, took money from the family, for such is the gullibility of the country folk. Quid plura? Some time later, she died.
