INGULF (INGULPHUS): Abbot of Crowland (Croyland); b. in London c. 1030; d. at Crowland (14 m. e.n.e. of Stamford), Lincolnshire, Nov. 16, 1109. He became secretary to William, duke of Normandy, in 1051, and, after having made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, entered the monastery of St. Wandrille in Normandy, where he became prior. In 1086 he was appointed by his former patron, now king of England, to the abbatial stall of Crowland, being one of the few Englishmen appointed to high office during the Conqueror's reign. He is known for the Historia seu descriptio abbatace Croylandenais, which was long attributed to him. This work, which is preserved in the Arundel manuscript, no. 178, in the British Museum, is now known to be a forgery dating from the thirteenth or fourteenth century, though H. S. English and Birch claim that it is a mutilation, or a reconstruction, of a genuine original by Ingulf. It was printed by Sir Henry Savile in his Rerun anglicarum scriptores post Bedam (pp. 484-520, London, 1596; reprinted, Frankfort, 1600, pp. 850-916); also by W. Fulman, with a continuation falsely attributed to Peter of Blois and other continuations, in the Rerun anglicarum veteres (pp. 1-107, Oxford, 1684); and more recently by Walter de Gray Birch in the Chronicle of Croyland Abbey (Wisbech, 1883). There is a translation
