Life
Venerable Cyneburga of Castor was a daughter of King Penda of Mercia in England, known for his opposition to Christianity. She founded a convent at Castor in Northamptonshire and was its abbess; after her it was led by her sister, Saint Cyneswith. Saint Tibba, a kinswoman, joined them. She reposed around the year 680, and her relics were enshrined together with those of the other two.
She is a saint of the undivided Church, commemorated with them on 6 March (new style, Western calendar).
