Engelmund of Velsen

Saint Engelmund (Engelmond, Ingelmund) of Velsen (died 14 May c. 739) was an English-born missionary to Frisia.

Although born in England, he had lived in Friesland with his parents and so knew the language.

[2] He traveled to Frisia to join Saint Willibrord in evangelizing the region.

Engelmund was based at Velsen near Haarlem, where he later died at an advanced age, of fever.

[3] Saint Engelmund is depicted as a pilgrim abbot with a fountain springing under his staff.
