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. She raised the nurse's child from the dead, and, fearing the miracle would cause her to be discovered, she crossed the Tarn, and, after wandering long in desert places, she met St. Engenius, bishop of Carthage, then an exile.
