Reineldis (also Reinhild, Reinaldes, Rainelde among others; ''c.'' 630 – ''c.'' 700) was a saint of the 7th century, martyred by the Huns. ==Life== Reineldis was born in a place called ''Condacum'' (which is identified with either Condé-sur-l'Escaut or Kontich). She was the daughter of Duke Witger of Lotharingia and Saint Amalberga of Maubeuge. Her brother Emebert was a priest in the diocese of Cambrai. Her biography mentions Gudula as her sister. Her mother entered the religious life at Maubeuge Abbey. Reineldis made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Her ''vita'', written between 1048–1051 in Lobbes Abbey,〔''Vita Reineldis'', Acta Sanctorum, Julii IV, 173-178.〕 records this fact, stating that she visited Jerusalem. She returned home and devoted herself to a life of charitable work at Saintes. She was decapitated by the Huns at Saintes, together with deacon Grimoaldus and her servant Gondulphus. 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「Reineldis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
