East Anglian saint From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sæthryth (Old English: Sǣþrȳð; fl. 660s), also called Sedrido, Sethrida or Saethrid, was the stepdaughter of king Anna of East Anglia.[1]
Sæthryth was sent to the Abbey of Faremoutiers in Brie to be educated, and became a Benedictine nun, under its foundress Burgundofara, whom she succeeded as abbess. Seaxburh, Ethelburga, Etheldreda and Withburga were half-sisters.[2]
