ERLULPH, MISSIONARY
Butler* (II. 547, note 2) calls him "Saint Erlulph" and refers to him as the apostle of Iceland, who flourished in the year 960.
According to the Bollandists* (I. 267), this Erlulph (Erlulphus) is listed in just one single source, which claims that he was an Irishman and gives him the title "blessed".
