Thelchildes

Saint Thelchildis (died 660), was abbess of Jouarre Abbey.

Thelchildis was the daughter of a Neustrian noble named Betto.

[3] She was mentor to Aetheria, first Abbess of Notre-Dame of Soissons (658), and of Berthild of Chelles.

When Saint Bathildis, the wife of Clovis II, founded the Abbey of Chelles, she asked Saint Thelchildis to oversee the foundation, and to pick "the most experienced and virtuous nuns of Jouarre" to join her.

[5][6] Her successor, Agilberta, the second abbess of Jouarre was a kinswoman.
