Baring-Gould’s sources: Galilean Martyrology of Saussaye, Ancient Martyrology of Centulle, and venerated in the diocese of Amiens. Authority: — An ancient life quoted by Ignatius the Carmelite in his Historia Abbavillana, 148a] S. Wulphlag, a native of Ponthieu, from his earliest childhood was devoted to the service of the altar. He Lives oj the Saints.

…married a pious wife shortly before he was ordained priest, and by her became the father of three daughters, who grew up virtuous and God-fearing. S. Wulphlag was appointed to the charge of Rue, near the sea, between the rivers Somme and Authie. But after a while he went on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and on his return announced to his wife and daughters that he was resolved to embrace an eremitical life. He retired into a cell which he constructed at Regnie l’Ecluse, in a wild and desolate spot He was consoled there with the news that his daughters had renounced the world and taken the vows of monastic life. He died in his hermitage, and was buried at Requier. His body was afterwards translated to S. Sauve, at Montreuil-sur-Mer, where it now rests.
