 St. William of Maleval   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
After a number of chapters in which he is confused with St. William of Gellone, Duke of Aquitaine, we are told that he went to Rome, where he had an interview with Eugene III, who ordered him to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem in penance for his sins.
Though Theodobald's account of his interview with the pope does not carry conviction, the fact of this visit and his subsequent pilgrimage to Jerusalem is supported by excerpts from the older life, which are preserved by responsories and antiphons in his Office.
About 1153 he returned to Italy and led a hermit's life in a wood near Pisa, then on Monte Pruno, and finally in 1155 in the desert valley of Stabulum Rodis, later known as Maleval, in the territory of Siena and Bishopric of Grosseto, where he was joined by Albert.

 William Glover's Weekly Internet Column on French Life, Culture, and Cuisine
The monk named William who came out of the desert to slay the giant Issoire was in fact William of Orange, the legendary warrior who retired his sword and armor to become a hermit monk in 804.
William, who the messenger did not recognize, reported that William of Orange was already dead and sent the messenger away with the sad news.
