Itta of Metz

(also Ida, Itte or Iduberga; 592–8 May 652) was the wife of Pepin of Landen, Mayor of the Palace of the Kingdom of Austrasia.

There is no direct record of her parents, but it has been suggested that she came from a family of senatorial status which had originated in Aquitaine,[1] and was a daughter of Arnoald, Bishop of Metz, son of Ansbertus.

[2] After Pepin's death in 640, Itta and her daughter, Gertrude, withdrew from the capital for a life of religious reflection.

[3] Itta had another daughter by Pepin, Abbess Begga of Andenne, who had married Ansegisel, son of Arnulf of Metz prior to joining the monastery.

[3] Itta is honoured as the patron saint of the French village of Itteville, which was founded on the site of a farm which she had established.
