Saint Edburga of Minster-in-Thanet (also known as Eadburh and Bugga) was a princess of Wessex,[1] and abbess of Minster-in-Thanet. She is regarded as a saint.
Life
Edburga was the only daughter of King Centwine and Queen Engyth of Wessex. According to Stephen of Ripon, Engyth was a sister of Queen Iurminburh, second wife of King Ecgfrith of Northumbria. Centwine was not a Christian, but towards the end of his reign, converted and became a monk.
Edburga was a friend and student of Saint Mildrith, abbess of Minster-in-Thanet.[1] She was reputed to be zealous in the pursuit of knowledge.[2] In 716, Edburga became a Benedictine nun at the abbey. She corresponded with Saint Boniface and Lullus.[3]
Between 718 and 720 her mother wrote to Boniface and soon after, in 720, Edburga herself wrote to him, sending him fifty shillings and an altar cloth.[4]
In 716, Boniface addresses to her a letter containing the famous Vision of the Monk of Wenlock.[5]
She succeeded Mildrith as the abbess around 733, and presided over about seventy nuns. During her time as an abbess she was able to secure royal charters for the abbey,[6] as well as having a new church (Ss. Peter and Paul) built there, to provide a shrine for the relics of St Mildrith.[1]
