Christian feast day: Gangulphus of Burgundy

Gangulphus of Burgundy is venerated as a martyr by the Catholic Church. Gangulphus was a Burgundian courtier whose historical existence can be attested by only a single document: a deed from the court of Pepin the Short, dated 762, attests that he was a great landowner, whose family dominated the region and exercised a lot of power.

May 11 is the 131st day of the year in the Gregorian calendar; 234 days remain until the end of the year.
