Abbot Stephen Sagar edit
I have removed the "under torture no doubt" reference to Abbot Stephen Sagar admission that the Holy Blood was duck blood. Given that Sagar was a friend of Thomas Cromwell, and was to receive a fairly generous pension, and that the dissolution of the abbey proceeded in an orderly manner it is unlikely that undue pressure was brought to bear upon him. Torture in England was also, contrary to the practice in Spain and elsewhere, rare and unusual and I'm not aware of any evidence that it was used in this case. Ncox 20:42, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
