[3] When Godeberta was old enough, her father took her to the king's court to obtain permission to "marry her to someone of suitable rank and fortune".

[2][note 1] Saint Eligius, who was present at court, was able to see that she wanted to "dedicate her virginity to God",[2] and took off his episcopal ring and placed it on her finger in the presence of the king, pronouncing her a nun.

According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, in 676, when Noyon was threatened with fire, she made the sign of the cross over the flames and they were immediately extinguished, saving the town from destruction.

[3] The Catholic Encyclopedia reports that in 1866, during an outbreak of typhoid fever in Noyon, a leading citizen of the town whose child had died asked that Godeberta's relics be exposed, that a novena of intercession be practiced, and the town's inhabitants observe a three-day fast and wear sackcloth and ashes.

The outbreak ended, and a few weeks later, her relics were paraded through the town and a statue of Godeberta was made to commemorate the miracle.
