Ingulph

Ingulph, or Ingulphus, born about 1030 of English parents, entered a monastic order, and having become secretary to William the Conqueror before his invasion of England settled in Normandy. In 1085 he was brought over to take charge of the Abbey of Croyland, where he remained until bis death in 1109, doing much to enlarge and improve the foundation. The Historia Monasterii Croylandensis, once believed to have been his work, is now generally attributed to a later scribe, and its historical value has much depreciated.
