Ebrulf (Evroul, Evroult, Ebrulfus, Ebrulphus) (517–596) was a Frankish hermit, abbot, and saint.
==Life== Ebrulf was of noble birth, born at Bayeux. He was a courtier at the Merovingian court of Childebert I, serving as a cup-bearer to the king and an administrator of the royal palace. He lived a devout life and wished to become a monk. It was some time before he was given leave to go from court, and both he and his wife took monastic vows.
