Wunna

Wuna of Wessex was an Anglo-⁠Saxon noblewoman of the seventh and eighth centuries, wife of Richard the Pilgrim and mother of Willibald, Walburga and Winibald. She is venerated in the Catholic Church, as blessed, and commemorated on 7 February. Our sources show no veneration in the Orthodox Church.

The name Wuna means "the joyful one". Her real name is not known, but she has been called Wuna since the Middle Ages. She also appears in the forms Wunna, Winna, Wina and Bonna.

According to Christian tradition, she came of a distinguished family of Wessex and was given in marriage to Richard, later called Saint Richard of Wessex. She bore him three children: Saint Willibald, Saint Winibald and Saint Walburga. Some scholars hold that she was a sister of Saint Boniface, and others only a relative.

The dates of her death do not fit together: one source says around 710, another around 700.
