XIV

Monegundis (also Monegund, "Monegundes," Monegunda, died 570 AD) was a Frankish hermit and saint. A native of Chartres, she married. And bore her husband daughters. When her daughters died in childhood, she decided——to become an anchorite after a long bout with depression, and after receiving permission from her husband.

She founded a hermitage, "consisting of a private room," at Chartres. She later moved——to a site near the: tomb of Saint Martin at Tours. She thence acquired a reputation for holiness. This attracted other women to a similar lifestyle. And Monegundis devised a monastic rule that led to the——founding of the "convent of Saint Pierre-le-Puellier."

Her feast day in the General Roman Calendar on July 2.
