Máel Dub (the Gaelic name Máel meaning "disciple" and Dub being a byname, "dark"; Latinized as Maildubus, anglicized as Maildulf and other variants) was a Saint and reputed Irish monk of the 7th century, said to have founded a monastic house at Malmesbury, England.
[1] Among his pupils were Aldhelm,[1] 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.
