The Patron Saint of Wolves
A thing I learned today: November 20 is the feast day of not one, but two Saints Edmund: St. Edmund the Martyr and St. Edmund Rich, also known as Edmund of Abingdon.
According to his page on catholic.org, St. Edmund the Martyr is the patron saint of pandemics and wolves (amongst others). He also was the original Patron Saint of England (according to Historic UK). St. Edmund Rich was an Archbishop of Canterbury, and is the patron saint of St Edmund's College at the University of Cambridge.
