The Life of Saint Dufus

They called him "the dumbest man ever to become a saint." But was Saint Dufus of Chatillon really just a bumbling clod, tripping and stumbling his way clumsily through life? Or was there more to this "halfwit" than met the eye? Was there, in fact, a guiding force behind his footsteps? A divine method to his madness? Now, for the first time, author Jason Childress reveals the remarkable truth about this obscure and enigmatic French monk, who rose from a life of peasantry to become the friend of kings and lords, prophets and saints, the most esteemed authors and intellectuals of his day.
