Amalberga of Temse (born about 741, died 10 July 772) was a Lotharingian noblewoman from the Frankish royal house of the Pippinids who is celebrated as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. She is especially venerated in Temse, Ghent, Munsterbilzen and other parts of Flanders. Many miracles, such as crossing a river on a giant fish, are attributed to her. Her ''vita'' is connected to Charlemagne, whom her biographer (Goscelin of St. Bertin) says wanted to marry her. When she refused in order to continue her vocation as a virgin, he tried to move her by force; he broke her arm, but was unable to carry her off. He fell ill because of his actions, but she forgave him and prayed to God to heal him. The virgin Amalberga of Temse should not be confused with Amalberga of Maubeuge. == References == * (Vita sanctae Amalbergae virginis auctore Goscelino Sancti Bertini ) * ("St. Amalberga" ) from the ''Catholic Encyclopedia'' 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「Amalberga of Temse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
