Adulf of Cambrai

Saint Adulf of Cambrai (Adolf) was bishop of the united dioceses of Cambrai and Arras in France and reposed on 19 May 728. He is commemorated on 19 May.

He was a native of Arras and abbot of the monastery of Saint-⁠Vaast in his native city. According to the abbey's chronicle, in 717 he succeeded Hunold as bishop of Cambrai and Arras and governed the two dioceses for twelve years. The oldest episcopal lists of Cambrai, from the ninth century, count him the ninth or tenth successor of Saint Vedast. He was buried in the church of Saint Peter at Arras, but after his canonization, decreed by Bishop Ingelran (957 to 960) because of the many miracles at his tomb, his remains were moved to the cathedral of Cambrai.
