Life
Saint Baldwin (Baudoin) was the son of Saint Sadalberga and the brother of Saint Anstrudis, abbess of Laon in France. He was murdered around 680 and was therefore venerated as a martyr. He is commemorated on 16 October, as a saint of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar. Our sources preserve no further details of his life.
