Bladulf Explained

Bladulf (died c. 630), was a monk and priest of Bobbio Abbey, killed on the orders of the Lombard king Arioald, because Bladulf would not salute him, as being an Arian.[1] It is said that Abbot Attala restored Bladulf to life and delivered Arioald from a diabolical possession, the punishment of his crime; and that this two-fold miracle led to Arioald's conversion.[2]

He is a Catholic and Orthodox[3] saint, with his feast day on January 2.[4]
