Died 698. Odulvald was a Scottish nobleman--the governor of the province of Laudon. He renounced the world in order to enter Melrose Abbey, where he found his joy in singing the verses of the Psalmist about our delivery from slavery. Eventually, he became abbot of Melrose, where he was noted for his continued advancement in spiritual fervour, his gift of tears, and constant prayer. His sighs after heaven were crowned with a joyful and happy death ten years after that of Saint Cuthbert (Benedictines, Husenbeth).
