Saint Aldegunais of Maubeuge, born around 639 AD in Hainaut, was a Frankish noblewoman who became a Benedictine abbess and saint, renowned for her piety and miraculous deeds. Daughter of Saints Walbert and Bertilia, and sister to Saint Waldetrudis, she rejected noble suitors to pursue a religious life, receiving the veil from Saint Amandus, Bishop of Maastricht. Around 660 AD, she founded a convent at Malbode near the Sambre River—later Maubeuge Abbey—where she served as its first abbess, fostering a community that grew into a significant Benedictine house. Tradition credits her with walking across the Sambre and enduring breast cancer with fortitude until her death on January 30, 684 AD, at age 44 or 45. Her legacy intertwines with the Merovingian "Maubeuge Cycle" of saints. | Saint Aldegunais of Maubeuge, born around 639 AD in Hainaut, was a Frankish noblewoman who became a Benedictine abbess and saint, renowned for her piety and miraculous deeds.
