Reineldis

Reineldis (also Reinhild, Reinaldes, Rainelde among others; c. 630 – c. 680) was a saint of the 7th century, martyred by the Huns.

Reineldis was born in a place called Condacum (which is identified with either Condé-sur-l'Escaut or Kontich).

Her vita, written between 1048 and 1051 in Lobbes Abbey,[3] records this fact, stating that she visited Jerusalem.

[5] When the Frisians or Huns invaded the country and all the people fled, she was left alone with the deacon Grimoald and her servant Gondulf.

The crowd of wild heathens attacked them in the chapel, where the worshipers at the altar awaited death.
