<p><em>Born:</em> 760, Italy.</p>
<p><em>Died:</em> 821, Angiers, France.</p>
<p class="just">Theodulph was born into the Italian nobility, but decided on a life of religious service. His first position was as abbot of a monastery in Firenze (Florence), Italy. In 781, Charlemagne appointed him Bishop of Orleans, France. However, this flourishing career came to an abrupt end with Charlemagne&#8217;s death. Louis the Pious suspected Theodulph of secret loyalty to political leaders in Italy, the country of his birth. These suspicions led to Theodulph&#8217;s imprisonment in
Angiers in 818. His predicament is reminiscent of Paul&#8217;s incarceration in Rome. Like Paul, Theodulph&#8217;s faith sustained him inside cold stone walls. It was there he wrote <a href = "./hymns/hymns_html/htm_a_g_aglahonr.html" >All Glory, Laud and Honor</a>, and there that he died.</p>
