Life
Doda of Reims was abbess of the monastery of Saint Peter at Reims (Saint-Pierre-les-Dames), in France, in the sixth century, and is honoured as a saint of the undivided Church, commemorated on 24 April (new style). She is said to have been the daughter of a Frankish king.
Tradition counts her as the daughter of Chlodoric, king of the Ripuarian Franks, and the sister of Munderic, thus a princess of the Ripuarian Franks. The historian Flodoard, however, calls her a niece of Balderic and Beuve, the founders of the monastery, sons of a king Sigebert, so her origin remains unclear. She was the second abbess of the monastery of Reims.
