Martyr, also called Raineldis and Reinildis. The daughter of Count Witger and St. Arnalberga, she tried unsuccessfully to join her father at Lobbes Abbey, in France, when he and her mother both decided to enter the religious life. After a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, she returned home and devoted herself to a life of charitable work at Saintes. She was put to death with Grimoald, a deacon, and Gundulf, her servant, by barbarian invaders probably at Kontich, in Antwerp, Belgium. Her sister was St. Gudula.
