Bladulphus

Saint Bladulf (Latin Bladulphus) was a monk and priest of the monastery of Bobbio and died around 630. He is venerated as a saint by the Catholic and Orthodox Churches, according to an English source, and remembered on 2 January.

His story is found in the Life of Saint Columbanus by Jonas of Bobbio. According to tradition he was put to death on the orders of the Lombard king Arioald, who was an Arian, because he refused to greet him. Abbot Attala is said to have raised him to life and freed Arioald from a demonic possession; this double miracle is said to have led to the king's conversion. The sources we found do not say that he was a direct disciple of Columbanus.
