We are talking apples and oranges here. The gospels are about Jesus, not Mary. All four gospels tell in different detail about the crucifixion. They are not identical because they are written by different men for a different audience and purpose.

The Coggeshall story was written/recorded by only one person for a different purpose and audience.

Gene:

What you say about multiple authorship of the Gospels is true, but it does not alter the fact that there is only one source in the entire world that places Mary at the Crucifixion, which was my only point. Yet it is deemed so historical that Michaelangelo sculpted one of the world's masterpieces of art using the scene as his subject (Pieta).
