Juthwara
Saint Juthwara was a British virgin and martyr from Dorset, who probably lived in the 6th century.〔Farmer, David Hugh. (1978). ''The Oxford Dictionary of Saints''. Oxford: Oxford University Press.〕
Her relics were translated to Sherborne during the reign of Ethelred the Unready. Nothing further is known with certainty about her life.
Her name is how she is known in Anglo-Saxon, apparently a corruption of the British Aud Wyry (meaning ''Aud the Virgin''),〔(St. Aude Wyry alias St. Juthwara ).〕 the name by which she is known in Brittany. She was said to have been the sister of Paul Aurelian, Sidwell of Exeter and Wulvela but this is hotly debated.
==Legend==
The legend of Saint Juthwara is known from John Capgrave's ''Nova Legenda Angliae'', after John of Tynemouth mid-14th century. According to this, she was a pious girl who was the victim of a jealous stepmother. She prayed and fasted often, and frequently gave alms. Upon the death of her father, she began to suffer a pain in her chest. Its source was ascribed to her sorrow and austerities. As a remedy, her stepmother recommended two soft cheeses be applied to her breasts, telling her own son, Bana, that Juthwara was pregnant. Bana felt her underclothes and found them moist, whereupon he immediately struck off her head. A spring of water appeared at the spot. Juthwara then miraculously picked up her head and carried it back to the church. Bana repented of his deed and became a monk, founding a monastery of Gerber (later known as Le Relecq) on a battlefield.〔Baring-Gould, Sabine & Fisher, John. (1907).
