Benedict of Gloucester
Benedict of Gloucester (fl.1120) was an English hagiographer, author of a life of St. Dubricius, mythological archbishop of Caerleon.

Thomas Tanner and other authorities supposed Benedict of Gloucester to have flourished about the year 1120; but all that can definitely be said with reference to his date seems to b
