Saint Maxellendis
Profile
Daughter of Humolin and Ameltrudis. Her parents arranged a marriage for her with Harduin of Solesmes, but Maxellendis felt a call to religious life. When Harduin and his party arrived to take her, Maxellendis refused, insisting she wished to become a nun. Angered by her defiance, Harduin killed her - and was immediately struck blind. Convinced him of his error, Harduin knelt beside the girl's coffin, prayed for forgiveness - and his eyesight was restored.
Died
