Who is Máel Dub?

Máel Dub was reputedly an Irish monk of the 7th century said to have founded a monastic house at Malmesbury.

It was implied by Bede that the monastery was said to have been named after him. There is evidence from a later charter that his name was actually Máel Duin.

Among his pupils were Aldhelm, the founder of Malmesbury Abbey, and Daniel of Winchester.
