Magnus Erlensson was born in 1080 to one of the earls of Orkney. His older brother (Aerling) and older cousin (Hakon) were in line to take over the two thrones from their two fathers, but Hakon was the cause of Aerling’s death and Magnus became next in line for his father’s throne. Throughout his life, Magnus was pious and gentle, but Hakon was not content being one of two rulers. Magnus was forced to flee and came to Egilsay island in 1115 by request to make peace. Each was to only bring 2 ships; Magnus obeyed; Hakon brought 8 ships.
“an angry Haakon made his cook Lifolf kill Magnus by striking him on the head with an axe. It was said that Magnus first prayed for the souls of his executioners.” –Wikipedia
The area where he was murdered changed from being rocky to a green field with flowers that gave off a heavenly scent.
Political/religious reasons led to his death, and thus he is considered a martyr and is a Saint.
With a mere flip of a switch, 28 gears spring into action to turn the ground from rocky to a green meadow. The flowers cannot be on during the transition, but it is very fun to operate.
I hope you like it! Check out the alternative views and the video of the function on Flickr.
Here is a diagram of the function:
