8. OuuLPn, Cauuii, Cunl'e.s.sur. 



The claiivh of PiUatoii is (li'difatcd lu this tsaiut. There is 

 an Adiilph or Odiilph. reputed to ha\'e been hishup uf Mae.strieht, 

 who, it is jtretended was a brother of iS. Botulpli. He is reported 

 to have k^ft England, gone to the Low Countries and become a 

 1>ishop tliere. He is, liowever, an apocryphal personage, though 

 he has found his way into the Roman Martyrology. All we know 

 of him is from an addition made late to the early life of !S. 

 Botulpli, full of anaehronisms and absurdities. No bishop of 

 the name of Adulpli, or Odulph, ever sat at Maestrii'ht. 



His name occurs in tlu' Roman Martyrology on June 17. 

 There was, ho\ve\er, a real saint of this name who is found in 

 the (luctuariiiia to Usuardus on June 12. He was a canon of 

 S. Salvator, at Utrecht, after having been parish priest of 

 Urescoth. He died of fever, June 12, 865. The authority 

 for the dedication of Pillaton to Odid])!! is an In(piisition held 

 by Bishop Bothe in 1467 with regard to the patronage of 

 S. Uominick. 



Whvtford uives him on June 12. 



8. Olavk (=Gwynllvw), King, Confessor. 



A church in the portion of Exeter formerly the British city, 

 and another at Poughill in the heart of the Brecknock-Gwentian 

 colony, bear the name of IS. Olave. 



That this should be the Norse king who fell in lOoO is 

 possible enough at Exeter, it is most improbable at I'oughill.
