Saint Hiltrude of Liessies (died late 700s) was a French Roman Catholic nun and virgin saint.
Life
Hiltrude was the daughter of a Poitevin noble from Hainaut.[1]
She resolved to remain a virgin, and fled her father's house when presented with a suitor. She returned only when she learned that the suitor had married her sister.[1]
She took the veil and lived as a recluse in a cell attached to the church of Liessies. There she lived a life of prayer and penance until her death.[1]
