Mildgyth

Saint Mildgyth was the youngest of the three saintly daughters of Merewald and Saint Ermenburga, the little sister of Saints Milburga and Mildred, who lived at Minster-⁠in-⁠Thanet in England. She reposed around 676.

When her mother returned to Kent, Mildgyth, still very young, probably accompanied her and stayed for some time at Minster. Like her sisters, she received a call to the monastic life, and the place she chose for her retreat was a monastery in the kingdom of Northumbria, whose name is not known. The old record says only that Saint Milgith lies in Northumbria, where her miraculous powers were often shown and still are. Some calendars call her a nun and later abbess of a Northumbrian convent.

She is a saint of the undivided Church, commemorated on 17 January (new style).
