  • (Geschiedenis) .Source 1
    exburga (ca. 625 - 699) of Saxeburg, was een Angelsaksische koningin en heilige. Sexburga was een dochter van koning Anna van East Anglia. Zij is begraven in Ely. Haar zusters Ethelburga (abdis van Faremoutiers in Brie), Withburga (non te Ely) en Etheldreda (abdis van Ely), en haar halfzuster Saethrid (abdis van Faremoutiers), werden ook allemaal heilig verklaard.

    Sexburga huwde rond 640 met Earconbert, koning van Kent, en werd de moeder van Egbert en Lotharius, die allebei koning van Kent zouden worden, en twee dochters, Earcongota, non in Faremoutiers, en Ermenhilda, die zou huwen met Wulfhere, de koning van Mercia en als weduwe abdis van Ely werd.

    Na de dood van haar echtgenoot in 664, stichtte Sexburga de abdij van Minster in Sheppey. Vijf jaar later verhuisde zij naar Ely, waar zij leefde onder de leiding van haar zuster Etheldreda, die daar toen abdis was. Etheldreda stierf vermoedelijk in 679 en Sexburga werd vervolgens tot abdis van Ely gekozen.

    Haar feestdag is op 6 juli.
