I quote:
Cragh was hanged in 1290 for rebelling against King Edward I for allegedly killing 13 men. He was executed just outside Swansea by the Norman lord, William de Briouze.
For reasons lost in the mists of time, the lord’s wife, Lady Mary, prayed to the deceased bishop of Hereford, Thomas de Cantilupe, requesting him to ask God to resurrect Cragh.
Cragh did, apparently, come back to life and set off with the De Briouzes to give thanks at the bishop’s shrine in Hereford. The story was one of those that persuaded the Vatican to make De Cantilupe a saint.
