Life

Archibaldus of Anglia is an abbot and confessor named in the English Martyrology on 27 March and, after it, entered in Henry Fitzsimon's calendar of Irish saints. The anonymous list published by O'Sullevan Beare gives only the name Archibaldus on the same day. The day follows the Julian calendar.

Galesinius found him in a manuscript. Wion supposes him to be the same as Erkenwald (Erenwald), who became bishop of London after being an abbot. Camerarius makes him a Scottish saint and abbot of Carnaminensis. The Bollandists, who record these statements, ask for more light. Nothing more is known. He is honoured in the Irish calendars, with no synodal canonization shown in the source.
