Cissa of Crowland

Cissa of Crowland was a saint in the medieval Fenlands. He was the successor of Guthlac as abbot of Crowland, and is mentioned in Felix' Vita Guthlaci.[2] According to the Crowland Chronicle his tomb was next to Guthlac's, and like the tomb of Guthlac, was destroyed by the Scandinavians.[2] His relics were translated to Thorney Abbey in the 10th-century.[2]

Notes

gollark: Yes, because this is not how you should use tuples, really.
gollark: In any case, an ADT would be better - see Rust's `Result<T>`.
gollark: Destructuring is a wonderful thing.
gollark: ```go(member, err) = session.GuildMember(guildID, userID)// whatever```
gollark: You mean multiple return values, right, and not ADTs?
