Itta
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Saint Itta or Itta of Metz (also Ida, Itte or Iduberga) (592-652), was the wife of Pepin of Landen , mayor of the palace of Austrasia . Her brother was Saint Modoald , bishop of Trier. Her sister was abbess Saint Severa. Their father was Arnoald , Bishop of Metz , son of Ansbertus .
On the advice of the missionary bishop Saint Amand , bishop of Maastricht , after Pepin's death, she founded the Benedictine nunnery at Nivelles , with a monastery under the abbess. She herself entered it and installed as abbess </wiki/Abbess> her daughter Gertrude , perhaps after resigning the post herself.
She had by Pepin another daughter, Abbess Begga of Andenne who married Ansegisel </wiki/Ansegisel>, son of Arnulf of Metz . By Begga, she is the grandmother of Pepin of Herstal and one of the matriarchs of the great Carolingian family. Her only son was Grimoald , later mayor of the palace, and father of King Childebert the Adopted .
Both her daughters were later canonised, as was she. Her feast day is May 8.
