Life
Saint Christiana of Termonde (Dendermonde) is a Catholic saint of Flanders, remembered on 26 July. Her life is known only through the copyist Johannes Gielemans, of the 15th century. According to him, she lived in the 8th century in Flanders (perhaps at Dickelvenne) and was the only daughter of an English king. Because of the uncertain sources, her biography is regarded as legendary.
She is said to have been buried together with the holy bishop Hildeward at Dendermonde (French Termonde), in East Flanders. Our record also links her with Geraardsbergen.
