Life

Adeltrude was, by tradition, a daughter of Saint Bavo and lived in the seventh century. After her father embraced the Christian faith she settled on his estate at Wintershoven and lived there as a virgin. Landoaldus was her spiritual guide, and she helped him found a monastic school; she also took part in the founding of the abbey of Munsterbilzen. She is said to have been proclaimed a saint locally in the eighth century. She is commemorated on 19 March. She is not to be confused with Aldetrude of Maubeuge, whose day is 25 February.

Commemorated the same day March 19
