CONTEXT

ABSTRACT

Life of St Landrada, abbess of Munsterbilzen (Limburg). She was born c. 620 and lived as a hermit in Bilzen, where she built a church. She asked St Lambert to consecrate the church and collect some relics. Young girls settled in the surroundings, giving cause for the foundation of an abbey in Bilzen. According to the vita, Landrada died c. 690-700.
