Life
Venerable Budmail is invoked in the Celtic Litany of Saint Vougay, of the tenth century. He is almost certainly Bothmael, a disciple of Saint Maudetus (Mawes) together with Tudy, on the island now called l'Isle Modez, off the north coast of Brittany. According to the Life of Maudetus, one day the fire on the island went out and Maudetus sent Bothmael to the mainland for live coals. Bothmael carried them back in the lap of his habit, but the tide turned and he was in danger of his life; at the saint's prayer he reached the island safely. Nothing more is known of him. He is a saint of the undivided Church.
