Abstract (en)

Discusses the transfer of the relics of S. David, an 11th c. English monk, from the church in Munktorp to the cathedral in Västerås. Deals with five stone reliefs, 1510-1517, in the cathedral, connected with Otto Svinhufvud, bishop of Västerås, who was active in carrying out the transfer. Three of the reliefs include his coat of arms. Two reliefs represent the three patron saints of the Västerås cathedral: one shows John the Baptist and S. David of Munktorp standing together, the other depicts the Madonna of the Rosary. Notes that a reference of 1528 indicates that a decision was made to divide the relics between the two churches.
