Are you saying he failed in such a way that subsequent progress was impossible, or that he died believing he'd failed, regardless of his actual next-life prospects, or what?

Certainly someone with a Heortling cultural background, "youfed" or not, would be less predisposed to think in these terms than someone from the East; it'd be fair enough to say that much, at least.

Cheers,
