Rictrude (Rictrudis, Richtrudis, Richrudis) (c. 614–688) was abbess of Marchiennes Abbey, in Flanders. The main early source for her life is the ''Vita Rictrudis'' of Hucbald, commissioned by the abbey, and written in 907 by Hucbald.〔Karine Ugé, ''The Legend of Saint Rictrude'', pp. 283-4, in John Gillingham, ''Anglo-Norman Studies 23: Proceedings of the Battle Conference 2000'' (2001)〕 She was from a noble family in Gascony. She married Adalbard, later murdered. In Hucbald's account, this is shown deliberately as a model marriage.〔Philip Lyndon Reynolds, ''Marriage in the Western Church'' (2001), p. 411.〕 Four of her five children were Clotsinda, her daughter and successor as abbess,〔Matthew Bunson, Stephen Bunson, ''Our Sunday Visitor's Encyclopedia of Saints'' (2003), p. 214.〕 Adalsinda,〔Bunson and Bunson, p. 34.〕 Eusebia and Maurantius.〔(Saint of the Day, May 12: ''Rictrudis of Marchiennes'' ) ''SaintPatrickDC.org.'' Retrieved 2012-03-08.〕 She is a Catholic saint, feast day 12 May. All four children are also saints. ==References== *Jo Ann McNamara, John E. Halborg, E.
