Seaxburh of Ely
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Saint Seaxburh or Sexburga of Ely (died c. 699) was an Anglo-Saxon king's daughter, an abbess and saint of the Catholic Church.

Seaxburh was one of four daughters of King Anna of East Anglia. Her sisters were Saint Æthelburg of Faremoutier and Saint Saethrid, who were both abbesses of Faremoutiers Abbey in Brie, and Æthelthryth who was abbess of Ely.

Around 640 Seaxburh married Eorcenberht of Kent. In twenty four years of marriage she had two sons, Ecgberht and Hlothhere, who both became kings of Kent, and two daughters who were eventually canonised: Saint Earcongota, a nun at Faremoutiers, and Ermenilda, who married Wulfhere, King of Mercia, and after his death became a nun at Ely and eventually succeeded her sister as abbess.

After the death of her husband on 14 July 664, she ruled Kent until her son came of age. Thereafter, Seaxburh became a nun and founded the abbey of Minster-in-Sheppey. Shortly afterwards she moved to Ely to join her sister Æthelthryth in the monastery for men and women she had founded there.[1]. Æthelthryth died around 679 and Seaxburh was elected abbess in her place. In a vivid demonstration of the dynastic value of the cult of royal saints in the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, in 695, Bede recorded later, she organised the translation of St. Etheldreda's relics, which were discovered to be incorrupt, to a new shrine she had erected for her at Ely, which included a sarcophagus of white marble[2] from the Roman ruins at Grantchester.[3]

The date of her death is not known for sure, but she is buried in Ely. Her feast day is July 6. An accessible source for her hagiography in the context of the Kentish royal legend is Rosalind C. Love, ed., Goscelin of Saint-Bertin: The Hagiography of the Female Saints of Ely (Oxford Medieval Texts)

St. Sexburga, Abbess of Ely
*(AD 636-c.700)

Sexburga was the eldest daughter of King Anna of East Anglia and his second wife, Saewara: one of four saintly sisters. She married King Erconbert of Kent and became mother of the future Kings Egbert I and Hlothere, as well as SS. Ermengilda and Ercongota. Further holy relatives included her grandchildren: St. Werburga of Chester, St. Wulfade & St. Rufinus.

Within her husband's lifetime, Sexburga began to build a religious house at Sheppey, in that kingdom, where holy virgins might attend divine service for her, day and night.

Erconbert died of the "yellow plague" that desolated England in AD 664 and, in widowhood, Sexburga was regent, for a time, on behalf of her son, Egbert I. When he had no further need of her, she retired to her nunnery and assembled 74 nuns there. However, hearing of the great sanctity of her sister, Etheldreda of Ely, and desiring to live in more obscurity than she could enjoy as head of her own monastery, she chose to become a nun under the latter (before AD 679).

Eventually, she succeeded her as Abbess of Ely and, during her rule, she translated her sister's body into an old Roman sarcophagus brought from nearby Grantchester.

She lived to a considerable age, dying on 6th July around AD 700.

SEAXBURH ([620/30]-after 695). Bede names "Seaxburg" as eldest daughter of King Anna and "wife to Earconbert king of Kent"[64]. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle names "Seaxburh, daughter of Anna king of the East Angles", as mother of Eorcengota[65]. Her birth and marriage dates are estimated on the basis of probable birth date of her husband and an approximate chronology of her descendants which appears to be reasonably precise. Bede records that Sexberga succeeded her sister Æthelthryth as abbess at Ely, specifying that after her sister and predecessor had been dead 16 years, Sexberga planned to move her remains but found that the body was uncorrupted when the coffin was opened[66]. m ([640/45]) EORCENBERHT King of Kent, son of EADBALD King of Kent & his second wife Emma of the Franks ([620]-14 Jul 664).
