Hagiography

Her husband was Emilius, count of Laon. She was already old when a hermit prophesied to her that she would give birth to a son of great renown:
The son was born and baptised Remedius or Remigius because he was to heal many ailments in his life.
She had two other sons, Agricola, who became a priest, and Principius, who became Bishop of Soissons. She died at a very old age and was buried at Lavergny near Laon.
