This animation retells the comic German legend about Peterborough’s most important medieval saint: Oswald of Northumbria.

Original imagery was sourced from the Peterborough Bestiary, a medieval book with pictures of animals, to tell the story of King Oswald and his legendary (and sassy) pet raven.

Commissioned by Corpus Christi College, University College London and Kings College.

Making-of video and info coming soon!
