A Dictionary of Saintly Women/Adeltrude (3)

by Agnes B. C. Dunbar

St. Adeltrude (3), Nov. 14. 9th century. Wife of a count of Aurillac, who built a church and abbey there, under the invocation of St. Clement and rule of St Benedict. In 855 they had a son, Gerald, whom they brought up so piously that he became a great saint. Adeltrude was buried in St Clement's Church, where her miracles drew a great concourse of pilgrims, until the 16th century, when the Calvinists dispersed her relics. P.B. Butler, "St. Gerald," Oct 13.
