Máel Dub
Máel Dub was reputedly an Irish monk of the 7th century, said to have founded a monastic house at Malmesbury, England.
It was implied by Bede that the monastery was said to have been named after him. There is evidence from a later charter that his name was Máel Duin.
Among his pupils were Aldhelm, the founder of Malmesbury Abbey, and Daniel of Winchester.
He died in around 675 and was buried in the church of St. Peter and St. Paul, Malmesbury. His bones were cast out in the 11th century by the Norman abbot Warin of Lyre and relegated to a far corner of St. Michael's Church.
