Odila of Laon

Odila of Laon (in French Odile) was the wife of Saint Leudinus Bodo, bishop of Toul, and lived in the 7th century in Francia. She is venerated in the Western Church and is said to have reposed in the year 660.

According to the tradition kept in the French sources, Leudinus Bodo lived with her as husband before becoming bishop of Toul, after the year 665. Urged by Saint Walbert and by the example of his sister, Saint Salaberga, abbess of the monastery of Saint John at Laon, Bodo decided to leave the world. Odila took the monastic veil in the monastery of Saint John at Laon, while her husband shut himself in the neighboring men's monastery, where he gained such a reputation for holiness that the clergy and people of Toul chose him as their bishop.

No extended accounts of her earlier life or of her years in the convent survive. She is commemorated on 7 March.
