Andrew de Boyne
1100
The earliest record
of an Uncle Andy is that of Andrew Bishop of Boyne. Andrew studied religion
at an unknown French University and on arriving in Ireland quickly established
the Free Nasturtium Church in Ireland. His symbol was apparently the Nasturtium
flower which he used to good effect during his oratories.
Indeed Andy's town is thought to have been named after one such sermon.
Each orange petal represented the Trinity of Sin - drinking mead, listening
to Elvis the minstrel and chasing maidens.
200 years later a cult of Andrew de Boyne became established resulting
in the circulation of many relics. Locks of hair were prized
and many shrines were built to preserve them.
This carving on the gable of a Boyne Church is thought to be the only
surviving likeness of him.
