He is known mainly from the Life of St Willibrord by Alcuin ,[4] Secgan [5] Bede .
Alcuin says he was a churl or "a non-servile peasant",[6] Saxon of Northumbria which was predominantly Angle at the time.
St Willibrord , born c 658 AD, the Apostle to Frisia and patron saint of the Netherlands and Luxembourg , was his son. Alcuin also writes that Wilgils was paterfamilias inheritance ,[7] Beornred , the abbot of Echternach and Bishop of Sens .
Wilgils entrusted his son to the church, and settled on the banks of the Humber estuary where he lived as a hermit. His fame increased and he was granted royal patronage that allowed him to found an oratory and church at the mouth of the Humber.
