Saint Bertulf (died 640) was a German who converted to Christianity. He was the son of a pagan nobleman and was a near relative of Arnulf of Metz whose example had such an influence on Bertulf that he became a Christian and in 620 entered the monastery of Luxeuil. A few years later he became acquainted with Abbot Attala who had come to Luxeuil on a visit and with permission of Abbot Eustace of Luxeuil joined Attala’s community at Bobbio in Italy.
