Hereswith

Hereswith or Hereswitha (Old English: Hǣreswīþ), also spelt Hereswithe, Hereswyde or Haeresvid, was a 7th century Northumbrian saint. She married into the East Anglian royal dynasty and afterwards retired to Gaul to lead a religious life. Details of her life and identity come from Bede's Historia Ecclesiastica, the Anglian collection and the Lives of Edwin of Northumbria and Hilda of Whitby.
