Lioba

Saint Lioba was an Anglo-⁠Saxon nun, a kinswoman of Saint Boniface, and abbess of Tauberbischofsheim in Germany. She reposed around 781.

She became a nun at Wimborne. In 748, at the request of Saint Boniface, she left England for Germany with a group of nuns and became abbess of Bischofsheim. She was greatly loved by her nuns, and her convents were among the most important factors in the conversion of Germany. She is commemorated on 28 September, as a saint of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar.
