Gertrude of Nivelles

Saint Gertrude of Nivelles (also spelled Geretrude, Geretrudis, Gertrud) (ca. 621 – March 17, 659) was a seventh-century abbess who, with her mother Itta, founded the Benedictine monastery of Nivelles in present-day Belgium. Although she was never formally canonized, in 1677 Pope Clement XII declared her universal feast day to be March 17. Gertrude is the patron saint of travelers, gardeners, and cats, and may be called on against rats and mental illness.
==Family and childhood==
The early history of Gertrude's family is not well documented. The anonymous author of her Vita only hints at her origins, writing "it would be tedious to insert in this account in what line of earthly origin she was descended. For who living in Europe does not know the loftiness, the names, and the localities of her lineage?"〔Vita Sanctae Geretrudis〕〔Fouracre〕 Gertrude's father, Pippin of Landen (Pippin the Elder), a nobleman from east Frankia, had been instrumental in persuading Clothar II to crown his son, Dagobert I, as king of Austrasia. Gertrude's mother Itta was from Gascony, and was likely acquainted with Saint Amand.
When Dagobert succeeded his father and the court moved to Neustria, Pippin became mayor of the palace, and his family (including young Gertrude) moved with the king's court.〔Fredegar ch 84〕 Thus, Gertrude became introduced to politics during her childhood in the royal court. Arnulf of Metz, Pippin's close ally, was one of several royal counselors who received ecclesiastical posts after a secular career and was later sanctified. McNamara argues that Arnulf retired into religion at the time of Clothar's death at 628AD, but he kept close ties to the family by marrying his son to Gertrude's sister, Begga.〔McNamara et al. 221〕 However, later scholars have disagreed, as discussed below.
