Notes about Saint Begga de Landen, abbesse d'Andenne Saint

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begga

 

Saint Begga (also Begue, Begge) (615 – 17 December 693) was the daughter of ;Pepin of Landen, mayor of the palace of Austrasia, and his wife Itta of Metz. On the death of her husband, she took the veil, founded seven churches, and built a convent at Andenne on the Meuse River (Andenne sur Meuse) where she spent the rest of her days as abbess. She was buried in Saint Begga's Collegiate Church in Andenne.

She is commemorated as a saint on her feast days, 6 September and 17 December. St Begga's feast day is 17 December according to "www.catholic.org".[4]

Some hold that the Beguine movement which came to light in the 12th century was actually founded by St Begga; and the church in the beguinage of Lier, Belgium, has a statue of St Begga standing above the inscription: St. Begga, our foundress.

The Lier beguinage dates from the 13th century. More than likely, however, the Beguines derived their name from that of the priest Lambert le Bègue, under whose protection the witness and ministry of the Beguines flourished.[5][6]
