[edit] Fiction?
If Henry was canonised within three years of his reported death by a pope who knew him personally, this seems like credible contemporary evidence that he probably existed --Henrygb 01:20, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Right. If. -- Cimon avaro; on a pogostick. 11:25, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
- Henry has never been canonized by the Pope. That is imagination. He is called "the Saint" in Finland, but that is only a domestic invention. --Drieakko 05:48, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
- Legends of Henry are presumably formed together from several individuals. What is known for sure, is that Henry's supposed bones were moved from the church of Nousiainen to Turku in 1300. However, there does not seem to have been a church in Nousiainen already in the 12th century, so the bishop buried there could be the unnamed priest who was consecrated as the bishop of Finland around 1209. --Drieakko 05:52, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
