Saint Austreberta, also called Eustreberta (630-704) was the daughter of the Count Palatine Badefrid and Saint Framechildis, near Therouanne. She was born in Artois in France. To avoid an unwanted marriage, she let Saint Omer give her the veil, the symbol of the consecrated virgin. Having convinced her family that she had a true vocation, Austreberta entered the Benedictine convent of Abbeville, Port-sur-Somme. Later she was elected abbess and helped reform the convent of Pavilly.
She was famed for her visions and miracles. Her liturgical feast in on February 10.
