Matilda of Ringelheim (895-968)

"Saint Matilda (c. 892 - 14 March 968 in Quedlinburg ) was a Saxon noblewoman. Due to her marriage to Henry I in 909, she became the first Ottonian queen. Her eldest son, Otto I, restored the Holy Roman Empire in 962. Mathilde founded several spiritual institutions and women´s convents. She was considered to be extremely pious, righteous and charitable. Mathilde’s two hagiographical lives and the Res gestae saxonicae serve as authoritative sources about her life and work." - (en.wikipedia.org 30.01.2020)
