... that the attempt to portray Abbess Hathumoda as a Christian saint after she died failed because everyone knew she could be quite petulant?

Source: "The very fact that his portrait of her had to be believable to an audience that knew her in life made it less likely that she would be revered, even by her own family. In spite of Agius’s claims for her character and sanctity, Hathumoda comes across as so human in the VH, in her anxiety and even her occasional petulance, that she fails to live up to the expectations of sanctity established by more traditional hagiographies." Paxton (2009), p. 46
