- Profile
- Priest.
Led a worldly life, interested more in hunting and parties with local nobles that in tending to his flock.
For unspecified reasons he suddenly realized the error of his ways and repented.
Some say it was due to a chance encounter with a beggar; others that he was suddenly moved by recitating the Lavabo verse: "I will wash my hands among the innocent." Retired as a hermit near Hazelbury, Somerset, England.
Had the gift of prophecy.
Counselor to King Henry I and King Stephen.
Copied and bound books, and crafted items for use in the Mass.
Some orders have tried to claim that Wulfric was a member, but he never joined any.
