Saint Aldegonde (or Adelgonde) ((ラテン語:Aldegundis) or ''Adelgundis'') ( 639–684 AD) was a Frankish Benedictine abbess who is honored as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church in France and Eastern Orthodox Church. She was closely related to the Merovingian royal family. Her parents, afterwards honored as St. Walbert, Count of Guînes, and St. Bertilla de Mareuil, lived in the County of Hainaut. She is the most famous of what Aline Hornaday calls the "Maubeuge Cycle" of .〔Aline Hornaday, "Toward a Prosopography of the "Maubeuge Cycle" Saints", ''Prosopon Newsletter'', 1996 (on-line text ).〕 Aldegundis was urged to marry, but she chose the life of the cloister. Having allegedly walked across the waters of the Sambre, she had built on its banks a small hospital at Malbode, which later became, under the name Maubeuge Abbey, a famous monastery. Initially a double monastery, it later developed into one solely of nuns. She bore with fortitude the breast cancer that eventually killed her.〔(''Butler's Lives of the Saints'', 1864. )〕 Saint Aldegundis' Catholic liturgical feast is kept on January 30. She has been supposed to be the sister of Saint Waltrude (Waudru).〔article in ''Archéologie'' (March 2003), n° 398, p. 7〕〔(Saint of the Day, January 30: ''Aldegundis of Maubeuge'' ) ''SaintPatrickDC.org.'' Retrieved 2012-03-06.〕 There are several early ''Lives'', but none by contemporaries. Several of these, including the tenth-century biography by Hucbald, are printed by the Bollandists (Acta SS., January 11, 1034–35). ==See also== *Philips van Marnix, Heer van St Aldegonde 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aldegonde」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
