Saint Amalberga of Temse
Feast day: July 10
741 – 772
Amalberga of Temse was probably a Frisian venerated Christian woman who was likely a Frankish subject from the Ardennes, located in Francia. She was a consecrated virgin, and probably the superior abbess of nuns in a religious community. She is considered as a saint in both the Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church, despite never being officially canonized as a saint. Raised by Saint Landrada, who founded Munsterbilsen Abbey, she is known for her refusal of Charlemagne's offer of marriage. Amalberga became a nun under Landrada and either succeeded her as abbess or governed a community of nuns on her own lands.
