Tips

Gertrudis van Nivelles (626 - March 17, 659) was an early medieval saint and abbess. She became one of the important saints of northern Gaul.

As a young girl she refused to marry a rich man and entered the monastery founded by her mother in 640.

Legend

There is a story that tells that a knight had a crush on Geertruida. But she had preferred monastic life. She had said goodbye to him with a toast. But the man remained in love and tried to do everything he could to get her. He even sold his soul to the devil. After seven years, the deadline was over; the devil came to claim his soul. But because Geertruida had drunk his salvation when she said goodbye to her lover, the devil had no power over his soul. Thus he was saved from destruction by the merits of Geertruida.
