Life
Saint Osburga of Coventry was an abbess at Coventry in England around the year 1015. Nothing survives about her life. By one account she was the first abbess of the convent founded by King Cnut at Coventry, around 1016, and died about 1018; by another, her cult is older, and a Saxon nunnery at Coventry from around 700 was founded by her. Her relics were enshrined at Coventry. She is a saint of the undivided Church, commemorated on 30 March (new style; 12 April in the old style).
