St Edward the Confessor?

Pilgrim badge, possibly from the shrine of Edward the Confessor at Westminster Abbey. The badge is in the form of a crowned bust inside a circular frame which is decorated with dots within circles and a pearled outer edge. Edward the Confessor, king of England, died in January 1066. He was buried at Westminster in the church of the abbey he had re-founded. He already had a reputation for piety, chastity, generosity to the poor and for his miraculous ability to cure the sick. In 1161 Edward was canonised. He was a very popular saint with English royalty but may not have had such a wide appeal for the general public. His cult was encouraged by King Richard II. There are very few confirmed Edward pilgrim souvenirs found in London, though the shrine keepers’ receipts at Westminster Abbey show that pilgrims’ offerings peaked in the 14th century.
