Saint Begga (also Begue) (615 – December 17, 693) was the daughter of Pepin of Landen, mayor of the palace of Austrasia, and his wife Itta.
On the death of her husband, she took the veil, founded several churches, and built a convent at Andenne on the Meuse River (Andenne sur Meuse) where she spent the rest of her days as abbess. She was buried in Saint Begga's Collegiate Church in Andenne.
Some hold that the Beguine movement which came to light in the 12th century was actually founded by St. Begga; and the church in the beguinage of Lier, Belgium, has a statue of St. Begga standing above the inscription: St. Begga, our foundress. The Lier beguinage dates from the 13th century. More than likely, however, the Beguines derived their name from that of the priest Lambert le Begue, under whose protection the witness and ministry of the Beguines flourished.
Marriage and issue
She married Ansegisel, son of Arnulf, Bishop of Metz, and had three children:
1. Pepin of Heristal 2. Martin of Laon 3. Clotilda of Heristal, who was married to Theuderic III of the Franks
Veneration
She is commemorated as a saint on her feast days, 6 September and 17 December.

NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH SAINT BEGA As reference: introduction from the English Wikipedia page on the Irish St. Bega: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Bega
Saint Bega was reputedly a saint of the Early Middle Ages; an Irish princess[1] who valued virginity. Promised in marriage to a Viking prince who, according to a medieval manuscript The Life of St Bega[2], was "son of the king of Norway", Bega "fled across the Irish sea to land at St. Bees on the Cumbrian coast. There she settled for a time, leading a life of exemplary piety, then, fearing the raids of pirates which were starting along the coast, she moved over to Northumbria". The most likely time for this would have been after 850, when the Vikings were settling Ireland[2].
Notes: The Calendar of the Saints says after her husband was killed hunting she decided to make a pilgrimage to Rome. On returning home she founded seven churches at Ardenne of the Meuse. She also set up an abbey at the same place where she died. 17 Dec is her feast day.

St. Begga: Dec. 17, 7th Century, Patron of Anden.
Represented: (1) with a bear or boar to show that she built her church in a place previously the resort of wild beasts, or in memory of a tradition that her grandson, Charles Martel, killed a bear at Anden; (2) with a hen and seven chickens, or a flock of ducks in a little pool. (The site of her first church is said to have been indicated to her by seven little animals grouped around their mother.) She holds in her hand a complicated building to represent the seven churches that she built.
Begga was daughter of Pepin of Landen, Mayor of the Palace under Clothaire II (613) and Dagobert I (628), Kings of France, and Sigebert II (638) King of Austrasia. Her mother was B. Ida. Her sister was the famous St. Gertrud of Nivelle. Begga married Ansigisilus, or Anchisus, son of Saints Arnulf and Doda.
Arnulf, or Arnoul, was of noble Frankish birth. Ansigisilus and Begga had a son, Pepin of Herstal, the second of three great Pepins, and the father of Charles Martel. Ansigisilus met his death while hunting (assassination at the Chalet de Chevremont according to other sources).
Begga then made a pilgrimage to Rome, and on her return built seven chapels at Anden on the Meuse between Huy and Namur, in imitation of the seven principal churches in Rome.
She also built a nunnery at Anden like that of her sister at Nivell. Gertrude had long been dead. St. Wulfetrude, the second abbess, was dead too. Agnes, the third abbess, took care to give Begga the benefit of all that she learned under the holy Gertrude and sent nuns to train the new community.
They took with them a piece of St. Gertrude's bed and placed it near the altar of St. Genovefa in Begga's church, where it worked miraculous cures and was adorned with votive offerings of gold and precious stones. The monastery of Anden was afterwards converted into a collegiate church of 32 canonesses of noble families, with 10 canons to officiate at the altar.
Begga is said by some authorities to have founded the Beguines, who devoted themselves to religion under simple vows not taken for life. The general opinion is that they were founded in the 12th century by Lambert le Begue, a priest at Liege.

St. Begga, Abbess (693)
Pepin of Landen, Mayor to three Frankish kings and himself commonly called Blessed, was married to Bd. Itta or Ida. Two of their three children were St. Gertrude of Nivelles (17 March), and her older sister, Begga. Gertrude refused to marry and became abbess of her mother's foundation at Nivelles. Begga married Ansegosilus, son of St. Arnulf of Metz (18 July), and spent much of her life as a nobleman's wife. Their son was Pepin of Herstal, the founder of the Carlovingian dynasty of France.
After the death of her husband, Begga in 691 built at Andenne on the Meuse seven chapels, representing the Seven Churches of Rome, around a central church and a religious house which received nuns from her sister's abbey. This subsequently became a house of canonesses, and the Lateran Canons Regular commemorate St. Begga as belonging to their Order.
She is also venerated by the Beguines of Belgium as their patroness, but the common assumption that she founded this order is a mistake, based on the similarity of the names. The term beguinae, first encountered about the year 1200, was originally a term of reproach used of the Albigenses.
St. Begga died as abbess of Andenne and was buried there.
From the Foundation for Medieval Genealogy page on Merovingian nobility: http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/FRANKSMaiordomi.htm
BEGGA (-693).
The Annales Xantenses name "Begga" as the second daughter of Pepin and record her marriage with "Anchisus dux egregius filius Arnulfi epicopi Mettensium"[24]. However, her position in this source as junior to her sister Gertrudis may be due to the latter´s standing as a religious figure.
The Cronica Hohenburgensis names "huius soror [beata Gerdrudis] Begga" as wife of "Angiso sancti Arnulfi filio"[25].

Die heilige Begga von Heristal (Herstal), von Landen, von Andenne, von Brabant, von Metz und von Austrasien (* um 620; † 17. Dezember 692, 693 oder 695) war die Tochter des fränkischen Hausmeiers Pippin der Ältere und der Itta oder Iduberga. Sie war die Großmutter von Karl Martell, dem Großvater Karls des Großen.
Sie heiratete Ansegisel von Metz-Austrasien, den Sohn des Bischofs Arnulf von Metz aus der Familie der Arnulfinger, und verstärkte damit die bislang schon bestehende Allianz zwischen den beiden Familien. Ihr einziges Kind war der spätere Hausmeier Pippin der Mittlere, der Macht und Besitz der Arnulfinger und Pippiniden vereinigen konnte.
Begga gründete 690/691, also kurz vor ihrem Tod, das Kloster Andenne an der Maas zwischen Namur und Lüttich. Beerdigt wurde sie in Andenne an der Maas. Gedenktage [Bearbeiten]
Ihr Gedenktag als Heilige der römisch-katholischen Kirche ist am 17. Dezember. Das Gedenken an die Übertragung ihrer Reliquien findet am 7. Juli statt. Name [Bearbeiten]
Begga - auch Bega oder Beggue - ist ein weiblicher Vorname, der auch in der Verkleinerungsform „Beggule“ existiert. Die männliche Entsprechung ist „Bego“ (Beggo/Begue). Bei dem Namen dürfte es sich um eine Abkürzung von Berchtegundis handeln. Weblinks und Quellen [Bearbeiten]

S. Begga (attorno al 620 – Andenne, 17 dicembre 693). Era una delle figlie di Pipino di Landen e di sua moglie Itta. Il padre Pipino di Landen, Maggiordomo di Austrasia, la diede in sposa ad Ansegiso, domesticus dei re Sigeberto III e Childerico II e figlio del vescovo Arnolfo di Metz. Dal loro matrimonio nacque Pipino di Herstal, che fu il fautore della riunificazione dei regni franchi ed il fondatore della dinastia dei Carolingi. Imitando la madre che, rimasta vedova, aveva fondato il monastero di Nivelles, diventandone badessa, dopo la morte di suo marito Ansegiso (685) fondò il monastero di Notre Dame. Santa Begga fondò il monastero di Andenne e ne fu badessa. È nel catalogo dei santi della Chiesa cattolica.

NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH SAINT BEGA As reference: introduction from the English Wikipedia page on the Irish St. Bega: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Bega
Saint Bega was reputedly a saint of the Early Middle Ages; an Irish princess[1] who valued virginity. Promised in marriage to a Viking prince who, according to a medieval manuscript The Life of St Bega[2], was "son of the king of Norway", Bega "fled across the Irish sea to land at St. Bees on the Cumbrian coast. There she settled for a time, leading a life of exemplary piety, then, fearing the raids of pirates which were starting along the coast, she moved over to Northumbria". The most likely time for this would have been after 850, when the Vikings were settling Ireland[2]. -------------------- Notes: The Calendar of the Saints says after her husband was killed hunting she decided to make a pilgrimage to Rome. On returning home she founded seven churches at Ardenne of the Meuse. She also set up an abbey at the same place where she died. 17 Dec is her feast day. -------------------------- From Robert Sewell's Genealogy Site.

St. Begga: Dec. 17, 7th Century, Patron of Anden.
Represented: (1) with a bear or boar to show that she built her church in a place previously the resort of wild beasts, or in memory of a tradition that her grandson, Charles Martel, killed a bear at Anden; (2) with a hen and seven chickens, or a flock of ducks in a little pool. (The site of her first church is said to have been indicated to her by seven little animals grouped around their mother.) She holds in her hand a complicated building to represent the seven churches that she built.
Begga was daughter of Pepin of Landen, Mayor of the Palace under Clothaire II (613) and Dagobert I (628), Kings of France, and Sigebert II (638) King of Austrasia. Her mother was B. Ida. Her sister was the famous St. Gertrud of Nivelle. Begga married Ansigisilus, or Anchisus, son of Saints Arnulf and Doda.
Arnulf, or Arnoul, was of noble Frankish birth. Ansigisilus and Begga had a son, Pepin of Herstal, the second of three great Pepins, and the father of Charles Martel. Ansigisilus met his death while hunting (assassination at the Chalet de Chevremont according to other sources).
Begga then made a pilgrimage to Rome, and on her return built seven chapels at Anden on the Meuse between Huy and Namur, in imitation of the seven principal churches in Rome.
She also built a nunnery at Anden like that of her sister at Nivell. Gertrude had long been dead. St. Wulfetrude, the second abbess, was dead too. Agnes, the third abbess, took care to give Begga the benefit of all that she learned under the holy Gertrude and sent nuns to train the new community.
They took with them a piece of St. Gertrude's bed and placed it near the altar of St. Genovefa in Begga's church, where it worked miraculous cures and was adorned with votive offerings of gold and precious stones. The monastery of Anden was afterwards converted into a collegiate church of 32 canonesses of noble families, with 10 canons to officiate at the altar.
Begga is said by some authorities to have founded the Beguines, who devoted themselves to religion under simple vows not taken for life. The general opinion is that they were founded in the 12th century by Lambert le Begue, a priest at Liege.

St. Begga, Abbess (693)
Pepin of Landen, Mayor to three Frankish kings and himself commonly called Blessed, was married to Bd. Itta or Ida. Two of their three children were St. Gertrude of Nivelles (17 March), and her older sister, Begga. Gertrude refused to marry and became abbess of her mother's foundation at Nivelles. Begga married Ansegosilus, son of St. Arnulf of Metz (18 July), and spent much of her life as a nobleman's wife. Their son was Pepin of Herstal, the founder of the Carlovingian dynasty of France.
After the death of her husband, Begga in 691 built at Andenne on the Meuse seven chapels, representing the Seven Churches of Rome, around a central church and a religious house which received nuns from her sister's abbey. This subsequently became a house of canonesses, and the Lateran Canons Regular commemorate St. Begga as belonging to their Order.
She is also venerated by the Beguines of Belgium as their patroness, but the common assumption that she founded this order is a mistake, based on the similarity of the names. The term beguinae, first encountered about the year 1200, was originally a term of reproach used of the Albigenses.
St. Begga died as abbess of Andenne and was buried there.

BEGGA (-693).
The Annales Xantenses name "Begga" as the second daughter of Pepin and record her marriage with "Anchisus dux egregius filius Arnulfi epicopi Mettensium"[24]. However, her position in this source as junior to her sister Gertrudis may be due to the latter´s standing as a religious figure.
The Cronica Hohenburgensis names "huius soror [beata Gerdrudis] Begga" as wife of "Angiso sancti Arnulfi filio"[25].

Die heilige Begga von Heristal (Herstal), von Landen, von Andenne, von Brabant, von Metz und von Austrasien (* um 620; † 17. Dezember 692, 693 oder 695) war die Tochter des fränkischen Hausmeiers Pippin der Ältere und der Itta oder Iduberga. Sie war die Großmutter von Karl Martell, dem Großvater Karls des Großen.
Sie heiratete Ansegisel von Metz-Austrasien, den Sohn des Bischofs Arnulf von Metz aus der Familie der Arnulfinger, und verstärkte damit die bislang schon bestehende Allianz zwischen den beiden Familien. Ihr einziges Kind war der spätere Hausmeier Pippin der Mittlere, der Macht und Besitz der Arnulfinger und Pippiniden vereinigen konnte.
Begga gründete 690/691, also kurz vor ihrem Tod, das Kloster Andenne an der Maas zwischen Namur und Lüttich. Beerdigt wurde sie in Andenne an der Maas. Gedenktage [Bearbeiten]
Ihr Gedenktag als Heilige der römisch-katholischen Kirche ist am 17. Dezember. Das Gedenken an die Übertragung ihrer Reliquien findet am 7. Juli statt. Name [Bearbeiten]
Begga - auch Bega oder Beggue - ist ein weiblicher Vorname, der auch in der Verkleinerungsform „Beggule“ existiert. Die männliche Entsprechung ist „Bego“ (Beggo/Begue). Bei dem Namen dürfte es sich um eine Abkürzung von Berchtegundis handeln. Weblinks und Quellen [Bearbeiten]

S. Begga (attorno al 620 – Andenne, 17 dicembre 693). Era una delle figlie di Pipino di Landen e di sua moglie Itta. Il padre Pipino di Landen, Maggiordomo di Austrasia, la diede in sposa ad Ansegiso, domesticus dei re Sigeberto III e Childerico II e figlio del vescovo Arnolfo di Metz. Dal loro matrimonio nacque Pipino di Herstal, che fu il fautore della riunificazione dei regni franchi ed il fondatore della dinastia dei Carolingi. Imitando la madre che, rimasta vedova, aveva fondato il monastero di Nivelles, diventandone badessa, dopo la morte di suo marito Ansegiso (685) fondò il monastero di Notre Dame.

NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH SAINT BEGA As reference: introduction from the English Wikipedia page on the Irish St. Bega: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Bega
Saint Bega was reputedly a saint of the Early Middle Ages; an Irish princess[1] who valued virginity. Promised in marriage to a Viking prince who, according to a medieval manuscript The Life of St Bega[2], was "son of the king of Norway", Bega "fled across the Irish sea to land at St. Bees on the Cumbrian coast. There she settled for a time, leading a life of exemplary piety, then, fearing the raids of pirates which were starting along the coast, she moved over to Northumbria". The most likely time for this would have been after 850, when the Vikings were settling Ireland[2]. -------------------- Notes: The Calendar of the Saints says after her husband was killed hunting she decided to make a pilgrimage to Rome. On returning home she founded seven churches at Ardenne of the Meuse.

St. Begga: Dec. 17, 7th Century, Patron of Anden.
Represented: (1) with a bear or boar to show that she built her church in a place previously the resort of wild beasts, or in memory of a tradition that her grandson, Charles Martel, killed a bear at Anden; (2) with a hen and seven chickens, or a flock of ducks in a little pool. (The site of her first church is said to have been indicated to her by seven little animals grouped around their mother.) She holds in her hand a complicated building to represent the seven churches that she built.
Begga was daughter of Pepin of Landen, Mayor of the Palace under Clothaire II (613) and Dagobert I (628), Kings of France, and Sigebert II (638) King of Austrasia. Her mother was B. Ida. Her sister was the famous St. Gertrud of Nivelle. Begga married Ansigisilus, or Anchisus, son of Saints Arnulf and Doda.
Arnulf, or Arnoul, was of noble Frankish birth. Ansigisilus and Begga had a son, Pepin of Herstal, the second of three great Pepins, and the father of Charles Martel. Ansigisilus met his death while hunting (assassination at the Chalet de Chevremont according to other sources).
Begga then made a pilgrimage to Rome, and on her return built seven chapels at Anden on the Meuse between Huy and Namur, in imitation of the seven principal churches in Rome.
She also built a nunnery at Anden like that of her sister at Nivell. Gertrude had long been dead. St. Wulfetrude, the second abbess, was dead too. Agnes, the third abbess, took care to give Begga the benefit of all that she learned under the holy Gertrude and sent nuns to train the new community.
They took with them a piece of St. Gertrude's bed and placed it near the altar of St. Genovefa in Begga's church, where it worked miraculous cures and was adorned with votive offerings of gold and precious stones. The monastery of Anden was afterwards converted into a collegiate church of 32 canonesses of noble families, with 10 canons to officiate at the altar.
Begga is said by some authorities to have founded the Beguines, who devoted themselves to religion under simple vows not taken for life. The general opinion is that they were founded in the 12th century by Lambert le Begue, a priest at Liege.

St. Begga, Abbess (693)
Pepin of Landen, Mayor to three Frankish kings and himself commonly called Blessed, was married to Bd. Itta or Ida. Two of their three children were St. Gertrude of Nivelles (17 March), and her older sister, Begga. Gertrude refused to marry and became abbess of her mother's foundation at Nivelles. Begga married Ansegosilus, son of St. Arnulf of Metz (18 July), and spent much of her life as a nobleman's wife. Their son was Pepin of Herstal, the founder of the Carlovingian dynasty of France.
After the death of her husband, Begga in 691 built at Andenne on the Meuse seven chapels, representing the Seven Churches of Rome, around a central church and a religious house which received nuns from her sister's abbey. This subsequently became a house of canonesses, and the Lateran Canons Regular commemorate St. Begga as belonging to their Order.
She is also venerated by the Beguines of Belgium as their patroness, but the common assumption that she founded this order is a mistake, based on the similarity of the names. The term beguinae, first encountered about the year 1200, was originally a term of reproach used of the Albigenses.
St. Begga died as abbess of Andenne and was buried there.
From the Foundation for Medieval Genealogy page on Merovingian nobility: http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/FRANKSMaiordomi.htm
BEGGA (-693).
The Annales Xantenses name "Begga" as the second daughter of Pepin and record her marriage with "Anchisus dux egregius filius Arnulfi epicopi Mettensium"[24]. However, her position in this source as junior to her sister Gertrudis may be due to the latter´s standing as a religious figure.
The Cronica Hohenburgensis names "huius soror [beata Gerdrudis] Begga" as wife of "Angiso sancti Arnulfi filio"[25].

Die heilige Begga von Heristal (Herstal), von Landen, von Andenne, von Brabant, von Metz und von Austrasien (* um 620; † 17. Dezember 692, 693 oder 695) war die Tochter des fränkischen Hausmeiers Pippin der Ältere und der Itta oder Iduberga. Sie war die Großmutter von Karl Martell, dem Großvater Karls des Großen.
Sie heiratete Ansegisel von Metz-Austrasien, den Sohn des Bischofs Arnulf von Metz aus der Familie der Arnulfinger, und verstärkte damit die bislang schon bestehende Allianz zwischen den beiden Familien. Ihr einziges Kind war der spätere Hausmeier Pippin der Mittlere, der Macht und Besitz der Arnulfinger und Pippiniden vereinigen konnte.
Begga gründete 690/691, also kurz vor ihrem Tod, das Kloster Andenne an der Maas zwischen Namur und Lüttich. Beerdigt wurde sie in Andenne an der Maas. Gedenktage [Bearbeiten]

On the death of her husband, she took the veil, founded several churches, and built a convent at Andenne on the Meuse River where she spent the rest of her days as abbess.
Some hold that the beguine movement which came to light in the 12th century was actually founded by St. Begga; and the church in the beguinage of Lier, Belgium, has a statue of St. Begga standing above the inscription: St. Begga, our foundress. The Lier beguinage dates from the 13th century. More than likely, however, is that the beguines derived their name from that of the priest Lambert le Begue, under whose protection the witness and ministry of the Beguines flourished.

Om Saint Beggue of Austrasia (Norsk)
Begga av Metz, abbedisse av Andenne
Saint Begga (også Begue) (615-17 desember 693) var datter av Pippin av Landen, Austrasias rikshovmester, og hans kone Itta.
På dødsfallet til hennes mann, hun tok sløret, grunnlagt flere kirker, og bygget et kloster på Andenne på Maas (Andenne sur Meuse) hvor hun tilbrakte resten av sine dager som abbedisse. Hun ble gravlagt i Saint Begga's Collegiate Church i Andenne.
Noen sier at Beguine bevegelsen som fant sted på 1100-tallet ble grunnlagt av St. Begga; og kirken Beguinage Lier, Belgia har en statue av den hellige Begga der innskriften sier: "St. Begga, vår grunnlegger."
Beguinage Lier, dateres tilbake til 1200 tallet og det er mer sannsynlig at Begijnen eller Begijnerne og fikk sitt navn fra presten Lambert le Bègue, som var beskytter av Begijnerne i dens blomstrigstid er feiret som en helgen Begga feires som helgen den 6. september og 17. desember.
Hun giftet seg med Ansegisel, sønn av Arnulf, biskop av Metz og de hadde tre barn: Pipin av Herstal, Martin av Leon Clotilde av Herstal som giftet seg med Teoderik III
