Everilda

Saint Everild of Everingham (Old English: Eoforhild)[1] was an Anglo-Saxon saint of the 7th century who founded a convent at Everingham, in the English county of the East Riding of Yorkshire.

She was converted to Christianity by Saint Birinus, along with King Cynegils of Wessex, in 635.

She fled from home to become a nun, and was joined by Saints Bega and Wuldreda.

Saint Wilfrid of York made them all nuns at a place called the Bishop's Dwelling, later known as Everildisham.

Her name appears in the Martyrology of Usuard as well as in the church calendars of York and Northumbria.
