Landulf of Milan

Landulf of Milan[1] was a late eleventh-century historian of Milan. His work Historiae Mediolanensis contains a proportion of pure invention, as well as gross inaccuracies[2].

He was a married priest[3] and opponent of the Gregorian Reform and the local Patarenes; he is called Landulf Senior to distinguish him from the unrelated chronicler of Milan Landulf Junior[4].

He travelled to France to study: to Orléans in 1103, to Paris to study with William of Champeaux in 1107-7, and to Laon[5].
