Saint Eormenhild (or Ermenilda, Ermenildis, Ermengild, all meaning "battle-great", from eormen- "great", hild- "battle") (died about 700/703) is a 7th-century Anglo-Saxon saint venerated in the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches.
She features in the genealogies of various 11th- and 12th-century versions of the Kentish Royal Legend.
These describe her as the daughter of King Eorcenberht of Kent and St Seaxburh of Ely, and wife to Wulfhere of Mercia,[1] with whom she had a daughter, St Wærburh, and a son, Coenred.
When discussing Wulfhere, Bede mentions neither her nor her daughter Wærburh.
However, her name is mentioned as an abbess in a (copy of a) charter of King Wihtred of Kent, dated 699, along with three other abbesses present at the occasion when the charter was issued: "Irminburga, Aeaba et Nerienda".
