- Profile
- Cousin of Saint Lambert of Lyon.
Educated at Therouanne by Lambert and Saint Omer.
Felt drawn to religious life from an early age, but was promised in an arranged marriage to Saint Ansbert of Chaussy.
Dreading marriage, Angadrisma prayed for a miracle to prevent it; she was striken with leprosy.
The marriage was broken off, Ansbert married some one else, and Angadrisma became a nun; the leprosy was cured the moment she received the veil from Saint Ouen, archbishop of Rouen.
Abbess of the Benedictine monastery of Aroër near Beauvais, France.
Miracle worker.
