Died c. 680. The relics of the noble Saxon, Saint Adulf, together with those of his brother of Saint Botulph, were translated to Thorney Abbey by Saint Ethelwold about 972. They have long been venerated there. While the hagiographer Folcard is probably wrong in identifying this Adulf as the bishop of Maestricht, famous for his teaching and almsgiving, it explains the reason today's saint is often honoured as a bishop (Benedictines, Farmer).
