I took screencaps of the life of the eleventh century saint Gilduin of Dol from the online Acta Sanctorum, because the downloadable .pdfs were illegible, and then spent several hours transcribing them. It turned out to be a little light on miracles for a respectable saint's life (although it had a fun exorcism scene when a bunch of mysterious food showed up, which turned out to be frogs, toads, and serpents diabolically made to look like food, the true nature of which our saintly hero revealed), but it did have a fairly respectable amount of not-inaccurate historical information about Gelduin's family. Nerdy glee!
