However, it does explain the reason why today's saint is often honored as a bishop. The monastery at Icanho (in East Anglia, but the exact site is disputed) was destroyed in Danish raids. It is said that when by the orders of Saint Aethelwold Botolph's body was disinterred for translation to the new abbey of Thorney, Adulf's body was buried with it, and as it proved impossible to disentangle the bones, both were taken to Thorney, where the relics of Adulf remained. His feast day is 17 June, along with Botolph.
