Life
Einbeth is the first of the three legendary virgins called the Bethen, venerated locally in South Tyrol, Upper Bavaria, Baden and the Rhineland. Her earliest mention comes from Strasbourg, in the second half of the twelfth century; in the fourteenth century she was joined with Wilbeth and Warbeth. Where the names come from is unknown. She is not in the official lists of saints, and scholars debate whether these were real persons.
