The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- He was born of humble parents in Suffolk, but the association with the village of Stradbroke is a post-medieval tradition.
- Upon his death, he was revered as a saint in England, but attempts to procure a formal canonisation failed.
- A. C. Crombie called him "the real founder of the tradition of scientific thought in medieval Oxford, and in some ways, of the modern English intellectual tradition".
