She was one of the nuns of the convent at Tábanos. She was executed on the same day as the monk Felix of Alcalá, of Berber origin, who had become a monk in Asturias but came to Tábanos seeking martyrdom, and the deacon Anastasius, a deacon of the church of Saint Acisclus in Córdoba who had become a monk at Tábanos.
