along with 11,000 virginal handmaidens. However, amiraculous
storm brought them over the sea in a single day to a
Gaulishport, where Ursula declared that before her marriage she
would undertakea pan-European pilgrimage. Together, the British
maidens headed for Romewhere Ursula persuaded Pope Cyriacus and
Sulpicius, Bishop of Ravenna, tojoin her happy band of
followers. She later welcomed Pantulus, Bishop ofBasle, and
Jaques, Bishop of Li÷ge, and 'King' Ethereus arrived
