Adelaide of Vilich

Venerable Adelaide of Vilich (born around 970) was abbess of Vilich near Bonn and of Saint Mary in the Capitol at Cologne. She was descended from the German king Henry the Fowler, and her parents founded the convent at Vilich, which she entered. Sources report miracles ascribed to her; the dates of her birth and death are disputed, and her repose is placed around the year 1015. She is venerated as a saint of the undivided Church and is commemorated on 5 February (new calendar).
