Ebrulf was a 6th-century Frankish hermit and Benedictine abbot born in Bayeux. Originally a noble serving as a cup-bearer and administrator at the Merovingian court of Childebert I, he eventually left royal service to pursue a monastic life alongside his wife. After living as a hermit, he established a settlement in the Pays d'Ouche region of Normandy, which grew into the Abbey of Saint-Evroult. He is recognized as a saint and is commemorated in the Catholic and Orthodox traditions.
