Walfridus
Who they were
Walfridus, or Wolfryt, was an inhabitant of Bedum in the province of Groningen who lived in the 10th and possibly the 11th century. According to his vita, Walfridus brought Christianity to Bedum and set up a system of justice. He also began the strengthening of the Wolddijk, the dyke around Bedum, and his reburial between 1025 and 1050 is linked to the founding of the Walfriduskerk, the oldest church in Bedum.
