Severa

Saint Severa was the sister of Saint Modoald, bishop of Trier in Germany, and the first abbess of Saint Gemma (later Sainte-⁠Sévère) at Villeneuve near Bourges in France. She reposed around the year 680.

She is commemorated on 20 July as a saint of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar. Our sources preserve no account of her life. She is not to be confused with another Severa, abbess of the convent of Oehren in Trier, around 750.
