She was twice married, first to a man who died after two months and then to a nobleman, Saint Blandinus, by whom she had five children, including two saints, Saint Baldwin (Baudoin) (feast day October 16 and Saint Anstrude. Her brother was Saint Bodo (d. 670). After some years, she and St. Blandinus agreed mutually to separate and assume contemplative lives.
