[Jararvellir] College of St. Bunstable

Certainly, he did.  But don't confuse the *story* with the *song*.

"Guard the wine, guard the wine-
No matter what should happen,
You make sure that wine stays hid!
Guard the wine, guard the wine, 
Now we all guard our wine, 
Like Saint Bunstable did!"

The vikings can't steal it if you drink it all before they get there.
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle.

A civilized Saxon, not one of those evil Frisian pirates.  Although I did marry one...
