Saint Begga (also Begue , Beghe , Begge ) (615 – 17 December 693) was the daughter of Pepin of Landen , mayor of the palace of Austrasia , and his wife Itta of Metz. She is also the grandmother of Charles Martel , who is the grandfather of Charlemagne .
Life
[ edit ]
The daughter of Pepin of Landen and his wife, Itta , Begga was the older sister of St Gertrude of Nivelles .[2] She married Ansegisel , son of Arnulf, Bishop of Metz , and had three children: Pepin of Heristal , Martin of Laon , and Clotilda of Heristal , who married Theuderic III of the Franks .[3] Ansegisel was killed sometime before 679, slain in a feud by his enemy Gundewin. Begga made a pilgrimage to Rome and upon her return, she took the veil , she had seven churches built at Andenne on the Meuse .[4] There she spent the rest of her days as abbess. She was buried in Saint Begga's Collegiate Church in Andenne.
Veneration
[ edit ]
She is commemorated on 17 December.
Some hold that the Beguine movement which came to light in the 12th century was actually founded by St Begga; and the church in the beguinage of Lier, Belgium , has a statue of St Begga standing above the inscription: St. Begga, our foundress . The Lier beguinage dates from the 13th century.
Another popular theory, however, claims that the Beguines derived their name from that of the priest Lambert le Bègue , under whose protection the witness and ministry of the Beguines flourished.[5] [6]
