Mildrith
Saint Mildrith (; ''floruit'' 694–716x733), also Mildthryth, Mildryth or Mildred, was an 8th-century Anglo-Saxon abbess of the Abbey at Minster-in-Thanet, Kent. She was declared a saint after her death, and later her remains were moved to Canterbury.
==Life and family==
Mildrith was the daughter of King Merewalh of Magonsaete, a sub-kingdom of Mercia, and Domne Eafe (Also sometimes named as Saint Eormenburga),〔(St. Augustine's Abbey, ''The Book of Saints'', A&C Black, Ltd., London, 1921 )〕 herself the daughter of King Æthelberht of Kent, and as such appearing in the so-called Kentish Royal Legend.
Her sisters Mildburh (Saint Milburga of Much Wenlock) and Mildgytha (Saint Mildgyth) were also considered saints, and Mildrith, along with here extended family, features in the Kentish Royal Legend (also known as the 'Mildrith Legend'). Goscelin wrote a hagiography of Mildrith, the ''Vita Mildrethae'' in the 11th century.〔Rollason (1982) p.16〕 The ''Nova Legenda Anglie'' of 1516 gives an extensive account of her life.
Mildrith's maternal family had close ties to the Merovingian rulers of Gaul, and Mildrith is said to have been educated at the prestigious Merovingian royal abbey of Chelles.〔 She entered the abbey of Minster-in-Thanet, which her mother had earlier established, and of which she became abbess by 694. Suggesting that ties to Gaul were maintained, a number of dedications to Mildrith exist in the Pas-de-Calais, including at Millam. Mildrith died at Minster-in-Thanet some time after 732 and was buried there in the Abbey Church of St Mary.〔
