Life
Erminethrudis was a nun and a member of the Merovingian aristocracy, who died in Paris around 600. She had been married and had children before entering the religious life. She is known mostly from her will, written in 567 and 584, the only surviving will of a woman from the Merovingian period.
She owned two estates, at Lagny-sur-Marne and Bobigny, and at least thirteen vineyards. She left property to the basilica of Saint-Denis and other Paris churches, so that prayers might be said for her and for her son Deorovaldus, and she freed a number of unfree workers. The sources show no liturgical veneration.
