She is said to have been the niece of Pepin of Landen who married her against her will to a great lord, named Thierry, by whom she had a daughter, afterwards St.

[2] Upon the death of her first husband, Pepin had her marry Count Witger, Duke of Lorraine.

[3] In her biography she is presented as the mother of five saints: Pharaildis, Emebert, Reineldis, Ermelindis and Gudula.

The translation of her relics from Lobbes to Binche in the 15th century is celebrated on June 10.

Apart from a few Merovingian details, her genealogy was copied from another 11th-century hagiography, namely the Martyr story of Catherine of Alexandria.
