Adulf
Saint Adulf (also Adolph, Adolf, Athwulf, Æthelwulf or Æðelwulf) (died ) was an Anglo-Saxons, Anglo-Saxon saint. Life Adulf is said to have been the brother of Botolph, but virtually nothing is known about his life. Church historian Frederick George Holweck says he was not Botolph's brother. The story, which originated with a monk of Thorney, Folcard's account of Botolph's life, that Adulf was at one-time bishop of Maastricht, is now generally thought to rest on a confusion of names and to have no substance. However, it does explain the reason today's saint is often honoured as a bishop. The monastery at Iken, in the Kingdom of East Anglia, was destroyed in Viking raids. It is said that when by the orders of Æthelwold of Winchester, Botolph's body was disinterred for translation (relics), translation to the new Thorney Abbey, abbey of Thorney, Adulf's body was buried with it, and as it proved impossible to disentangle the bones, the remains of both saints were taken to ...

Æthelwulf Of Berkshire
Æthelwulf of Berkshire (before 825 – 4 January, 871) was a Saxon ealdorman. In 860 he and other men of Berkshire fought off a band of pirates near Winchester, Hampshire. Later he mustered a force of 1400 men against an army of Danes, won the 31 December 870 Battle of Englefield on behalf of the then kingdom of Wessex. He received a land grant in 843/44 from Brihtwulf, king of Mercia; and lost his life at the Battle of Reading. Æthelweard, in his account of the battle, reveals a curious fact about Æthelwulf, master of the art of the ambush: he was a Mercian and not a West Saxon. Not only this, Æthelweard says: "In fact, the body of the '' dux'' (leader) mentioned above was carried away secretly and taken into Mercia to the place called Northworthig, but Derby Derby ( ) is a City status in the United Kingdom, city and Unitary authorities of England, unitary authority area on the River Derwent, Derbyshire, River Derwent in Derbyshire, England.

Æthelwulf (poet)
{{Italic title ''De abbatibus'' (fully ''Carmen de abbatibus'', meaning "Song of the Abbots") is a Latin poem in eight hundred and nineteen hexameters by the ninth-century English monk Æthelwulf (''Ædiluulf''), a name meaning "noble wolf", which the author sometimes Latinises as ''Lupus Clarus''. It recounts the history of his monastery (possibly at Bywell, or, less probably, Crayke, twelve miles north of York) from its foundation through its six first abbots and ending with Æthelwulf's two visions. It is addressed to the Bishop of Lindisfarne, Ecgberht, and dates to between 803 and 821. The poem exists in three manuscripts: *''L'': British Library, Cotton MS Tiberius D IV, Part 2, ff. 158v-166r; originally in Winchester Cathedral I, f. 108v. This manuscript also contains a copy of Bede's ''Historia Ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum'', assigned by Plummer to the Winchester group. *''O'': Bodleian Library, MS.
