The Life of Saint Audrey

La Vie Seinte Audree (English: The Life of Saint Audrey) is a 4625-line hagiography detailing the life, death, and miracles of Saint Audrey, an Anglo-Saxon saint from Ely, Cambridgeshire in Britain.

The only existing copy of La Vie Seinte Audree is contained in a manuscript in the British Library, Add MS 70513 ('The Campsey Manuscript'), recorded in the early 14th century. Earlier scholars proposed a date of composition for the poem itself in the late 12th or early 13th centuries, but since the early 2000s scholars have begun to credit Marie de France (fl. 1160 to 1215) as the author.^[1]
