Adulf
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Adulf (d c680) was an Anglo-Saxon saint.
He is said to have been the brother of Saint Botolph, but virtually nothing is known about his life. The story, which originated with Folkard's account of Botolph's life, that Adulf was at one time bishop of Maastricht, is now generally thought to rest on a confusion of names, and to have no substance.
The monastery at Icanho (in East Anglia, but the exact site is disputed) was destroyed in Danish raids. It is said that when by the orders of Saint Aethelwold Botolph's body was disinterred for translation to the new abbey of Thorney, Adulf's body was buried with it, and as it proved impossible to disentangle the bones, both were taken to Thorney, where the relics of Adulf remained. Feast day: 17 June, with Botolph.
