Agilberta

Agilberta (d. 680), also known as Aguilberta of Jouarre and Gilberta of Jouarre,[1] is a Benedictine French saint, venerated in both the Roman Catholic Church and Antiochian Orthodox Church.[2][3] She was a nun[1] and the second abbess of the Jouarre Abbey, in the département of Seine-et-Marne. Agilberta was a relative of Ebrigisil and Ado, who founded Jouarre in 660. Her brother, Agilbert, was bishop of Paris. Agilberta's sister, Balda, was Jouarre's third abbess.[2][4][3]

Agilberta's feast day is August 10. She died in 680.[1][3] She is buried in the crypt at Jouarre in one of three well-preserved sarcophagi.[5] It is of particular interest to scholars because of its stonework following the Roman burial tradition.[6]
