Huna of Thorney was a seventh-century Catholic priest and hermit who played a significant role in the Christianization of Anglo-Saxon England. Serving as a chaplain to Queen Æthelthryth, he provided spiritual guidance regarding the lives of saints and the path to salvation. His connections to the Northumbrian and Anglian courts allowed him to exert considerable influence during this period of religious transition. Following the death of the queen, whom he helped bury, he withdrew from public life to live as a recluse.
