[edit] Myth, not facts

The Sunniva legend is a myth without historical eveidence. This should be reflected in the article.--Frode Inge Helland 14:47, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

The body of Sunniva was found intact? The story I've heard is that they found human bones. Never heard of an intact Sunniva - references?--Barend 08:03, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
See the Acta sanctorum in Selio article which is in the present tense, which is what we use for fictional or legendary narratives. Haukur 09:27, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
"Da de kristne omhyggelig samlet de knokler som de kunne finne av de hellige, fant de det uskadde legemet / av den salige jomfru og martyr Sunniva. Det ble endelig skrinlagt med stor heder i det nådens år 996." (emphasis mine) [1] Haukur 09:29, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
