Landrada

Landrada of Austrasia (died ca. 690) was an abbess who is venerated as a Catholic saint. She is credited with the foundation of Munsterbilzen Abbey (Belgium),[1] where, in 2006, 10 massive oak trunk graves were discovered, one of which is believed to have been hers. She died in Munsterbilzen about A.D. 690.[2]
