Saint Wulfram of Fontenelle or Saint Wulfram of Sens (also ''Vuilfran'', ''Wulfrann'', ''Wolfran'', Latin: ''Wulframnus'', (フランス語:Vulfran) or ''Vulphran''; c. 640 – 20 March 703)〔The year of his death has been variously dated between 700 and 720.〕 was the Archbishop of Sens. His life was recorded eleven years after he died by the monk Jonas of Fontenelle. However, there seems to be little consensus about the precise dates of most events whether during his life or ''post mortem''. Saint Wulfram is depicted in art as baptising a young king, or the son of King Radbod. Sometimes the young king is near him and sometimes Wulfram is shown arriving by ship with monks to baptise the king. There are two churches dedicated to him in England, at Grantham, Lincolnshire and Ovingdean, Sussex, and one at Abbeville, in the French ''département'' of Somme. As a patron saint, he protects against the dangers of the sea. == Early life == Wulfram was born in the diocese of Meaux, at ''Mauraliacus'', an insecurely identified place near Fontainebleau, probably Milly-la-Forêt, Essonne. He was the son of a certain Fulbert, a knight attached to the court of Dagobert I, king of the Franks. King Dagobert's kingdom was divided on his death, and it was close to the court of his partial successor, Clovis II, king of Neustria and Burgundy that Wulfram is likely to have been born a little after Dagobert had died in 639. Wulfram was educated at Clovis's court and showed a gift for academic learning. He took holy orders and seems to have intended a quiet life but was called to the court of Theodoric III (Thierry III) of Neustria. This seems to have propelled him into greater prominence since, in 692, he was elected Archbishop of Sens. (There are various versions of this date, from 682). At any rate, he was in the post in 693, when he attended an assembly of bishops at Valenciennes. In 695, he resigned the archbishopric in favor of Saint Amatus, who it seems, he thought would be the better at that sort of work, and retired to the Benedictine abbey called "Fontenelle". There are several places called Fontenelle, but this was probably at St-Wandrille, near Caudebec-en-Caux on the lower Seine, in the Diocese of Rouen. However, Johannes Madey places it at Fontenelle in the extreme north of the département of Aisne. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wulfram of Sens」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
