Saint Iduberga¬â (Itta,¬â Ittaberga,¬â Yduberga,¬â Ida) (592-652 at Nivelle). After the death of her husband¬â Pâ©pin, on the advice of the missionary Bishop of Maastricht Saint Amand, she founded the Benedictine nunnery at Nivelles, with a monastery under the abbess. She herself entered it and installed her daughter¬â Gertrude¬â as abbess, perhaps after resigning the post herself. She is venerated as a saint (May 8).
The¬â Annals Laubienses¬â (11th century) say she was sister of¬â Saint Modoald, archbishop of Trâ®ves, from a senatorial family from Aquitaine. The¬â Vita Modoaldi¬â (12th century) says Modoald had a sister¬â Saint Severa¬â and a niece Saint Modesta, abbess of âíren at Tr√™ves. These late sources may not be reliable.
Her ancestry is unknown, although there are different academic speculations:
.She was a daughter of‰ Ansbertus, bishop of Metz. Prof. David H. Kelley suggested Itta and her brother Modoald were children of‰ Ansbertus, Bishop of Metz ("A New Consideration of the Carolingians" in NEHGR (April 1947); Weis, Ancestral Roots 190:9).
.She was a daughter of‰ Godinus, mayor of the palace of Burgundy (Smith & Wace, 3:209).
.She was a descendant of Garibald (died 590), duke of Bavaria and his wife Waldrada, who was wife successively of the French kings Thibaut and Clotaire I, and finally of Garibald. Eckhardt noted that the children of Itta and Pâ©pin have the Agilolfing names Grimoald, Gertrude and perhaps Gerberge. However, Pâ©pin had a sister Waldrada so it is more likely that the Agilolfing connection came from his ancestors than from Itta's.
.She was a daughter of‰ Grimoald‰ (c555-599), duke of Aquitaine, a Merovingian prince. He was a son of Theudebald, king of Austrasia and his wife‰ Walderada. Source unknown.
.She was a daughter of‰ Grimoald‰ and his wife‰ Itta. This Grimoald was a son of Waldrada (above). Ita was a daughter of‰ Severus, duke of Aquitaine. Source unknown.
The near-contemporary¬â Vita Garitrudis abbatissae Nivialencis¬â (7th century) says Itta was wife of Pâ©pin of Landen, and mother of:
.Grimoald, who became Mayor of the Palace of Austrasia
.St. Begga, wife of Ansisegsil
.St. Gertrude
She was probably also mother of:
.St. Bavo (Allowin)

William Smith & Henry Wace,‰ A Dictionary of Christian Biography, Literature, Sects and Doctrines: Being a Continuation of "The Dictionary of the Bible"‰ (1882). The Bollandists date her birth to about 592, her widowhood to 640, and her death to 652 (Smith & Wace, 3:209, citing‰ Acta‰ 88, 8 Mai. Ii. 307).
Widowed in 640, Itte Idoberge retired in religion. Soon after 640 or 647, St. Amand visited her and encouraged her to found a monastery. This advice came true in 648 or 649 by the foundation of a monastery (Abbey Nivelles) in Hainaut.
Her daughter Gertrude was an interesting party because Grimoald's sister was highly sought by proposals of marriage.
To prevent her from being kidnapped and forcibly married, and as the young girl destined to a religious life, Itta herself cut the hair of her daughter and installed her as Abbess of Nivelles.
Mother and daughter had monks coming in from France and from overseas, probably England or Ireland. The monastery became twice it previous size, with a congregation of nuns along with a congregation of monks.
Itte died there twelve years after her husband had died.

Saint Itta or Itta of Metz (also Ida, Itte or Iduberga) (592-652), was the wife of Pepin of Landen, mayor of the palace of Austrasia.
Her brother was Saint Modoald, bishop of Trier. Her sister was abbess Saint Severa. Their father was Arnoald, Bishop of Metz, son of Ansbertus.
On the advice of the missionary bishop Saint Amand, bishop of Maastricht, after Pepin's death, she founded the Benedictine nunnery at Nivelles, with a monastery under the abbess. She herself entered it and installed as abbess her daughter Gertrude, perhaps after resigning the post herself.
She had by Pepin another daughter, Abbess Begga of Andenne who married Ansegisel, son of Arnulf of Metz. By Begga, she is the grandmother of Pepin of Herstal and one of the matriarchs of the great Carolingian family. Her only son was Grimoald, later mayor of the palace, and father of King Childebert the Adopted.
Both her daughters were later canonised, as was she. Her feast day is May 8.

------------------------------
From the Dictionary of Saintly Woman entry on Itta's daughter Gertrude:‰ http://www.archive.org/stream/saintlywomen01dunbuoft#page/n353/mode/2up/search/Ida
When Pepin died, Ida was inconsolable. Her son and older daughter were provided for, but she knew not what to do with herself and Gertrude, who was now a beautiful girl with a large estate. She consulted St. Amandus, who advised her to build a double monastery at Nivelle, and there devote herself, her daughter, and her worldly goods to the service of God. She followed his advice.
Before the monastery was quite ready for reception - haunted by the fear that the world and its votaries would take possession of Gertrude in spite of her care - she took a knife and cut off her beautiful long hair, shaving her head after the pattern of a crown. Gertrude rejoiced that she would be found worthy to wear a crown for her Lord's sake on earth, as a token that she should receive an immortal crown from Him in heaven.
As soon as all was duly arranged, Ida installed her daughter as first abbess, she herself being one of the nuns, and assisting Gertrude with her advice. Gertrude delighted to entertain pilgrims and pious travellers, and by this means often received sacred books or relics from Rome, or information and instruction in religious matters from those who were able to give it.
The Irish hagiographers say that she had Celtic monks to teach her community to sing psalms. Two irish monks - Saints Foillan and Ultan (May 1) - visited her on their way from Rome to Peronne, where their brother, St. Fursey (Jan. 16) was buried. Gertrude and ida gave them a piece of land called Fosse, or "St Mors des Fossez," to build a monastery for a perpetual place of entertainment for pilgrims coming from or going to distant places.
About 10 years after the death of Pepin, Ida died. It seems to have been on the occasion of her mother's burial that Gertrude translated her father's body from Landen to Nivelle.

From‰ http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Itta
Saint Itta (also Ida, Itte, or Idulberga) (died May 8, 652) was the wife of Pepin of Landen, mayor of the palace of Austrasia. Austrasia & Neustria Austrasia formed the north-eastern portion of the Kingdom of the Merovingian Franks, comprising parts of the territory of present-day eastern France, western Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
According to Weis, her parents were actually Arnoldus of Metz, Bishop of Metz & Margrave of Schelde, and Oda. (Arnoldus of Metz was a son of Senator Ansbertus of Gaul & Rome and Blithilde. Ansbertus was son of Tonantius of Rome and grandson of Tonantius Ferreolus.) The (Roman Catholic) Diocese of Metz is an territorial subdivision of the catholic church in France.
On the advice of the missionary bishop Saint Amand, bishop of Maastricht, after Pepin's death, Itta founded the Benedictine nunnery at Nivelles, in present-day Belgium, with a monastery under the abbess. She herself entered it and installed as abbess her daughter Gertrude, perhaps after resigning the post herself. (Nivelles is a municipality located in the Belgian province of Walloon Brabant.)
Ittta had by Pepin another daughter, Abbess Begga (or Begue) of Andenne. By Begga, she is the grandmother of Pepin of Heristal and one of the matriarchs of the great Carolingian family.
Her only son was Grimoald, later mayor of the palace, and father of King Childebert the Adopted. When King Sigebert III died in 656, Grimoald had Sigebert's son Dagobert II shorn of hair and packed off to an Irish monastery and then proclaimed his own son, Childebert the Adopted, king of Austrasia.
Both of Itta's daughters were later canonised, as was she. Her feast day is May 8.
