Honoured in the diocese of Albi. According to local legend, she was of noble birth, persecuted by her parents to marry Hugolino of Chateau Vieux. Having a vow to the contrary, she fled and con- cealed herself in a wood for three years, her hiding-place being known only to her nurse, who brought hor bread.
