It is lazy to repeat the wikipedia notes, especially when they are so poor. Her tomb is in Switzerland at Bad Zurzach in Switzerland where she ended her days. She is venerated and the tomb is a major pilgramage site. She was related to St Maurice who was killed in the Alpine pass town of what is now St Marurice in Switzerland, which is also a major pilgramage site and has one of the richest ancient treasories in Europe, due to the veneration of the Saints of the Theban Legion for so many years. Get your facts right and let people discover the truth for themselves,
