- Profile
- Married early, and the mother of two daughters, both of whom died in childhood, sending Monegundis into a deep depression.
She eventually overcame her grief by filling the empty space in her life with God.
With her husband’s agreement, Monegundis became an anchoress, and built a private room where she could devote her life to solitude and prayer.
After several years of this life, Monegundis moved to Tours, and built a hermitage near the tomb of Saint Martin of Tours.
She soon gained a reputation for holiness, other women joined her in solitude and prayer, and they built a convent dedicated to Saint Pierre le Puellier.
