Gerberga I, Abbess Of Gandersheim
Gerberga I ( 840 – 5 September 896 or 897) was the daughter of the Saxon ''dux'' Liudolf, the progenitor of the Liudolfinger, a Saxon dynasty of monarchs. Her mother was Oda. She was abbess of Gandersheim from 874 to her death in 896/7. Personal life Information about her life is unsure, and her birth date is assumed to be between 840 and 850. She died on 5 September of either 896 or 897. Her death date is verified by a Gandersheim obituary. According to Hrotsvit's ''Primordia coenobii Gandeshemensis'', the history of the Gandersheim community until ca. 919, Gerberga was engaged to a noble called Bernard, but broke the engagement because she felt an inner calling to the church. After he was unable to convince her to change her mind, Bernard went to war with the intention of dying there. Because of the distance of time between Hrotsvit and Gerberga's life, this account could also be a transformation related to Gerberga's piety. Career Starting from 874 to her death, sh ...

Gandersheim Abbey
Gandersheim Abbey () is a former house of secular canonesses ( Frauenstift) in the present town of Bad Gandersheim in Lower Saxony, Germany.

Church In the collegiate church the original Romanesque church building is still visible, with Gothic extensions. It is a cruciform basilica with two towers on the westwork, consisting of a flat-roofed nave and two vaulted side-aisles. The transept has a square crossing with more or less square arms, ...

Corvey Abbey
The Princely Abbey of Corvey ( or ) is a former Benedictine abbey and ecclesiastical principality now in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It was one of the half-dozen self-ruling '' princely abbeys'' of the Holy Roman Empire from the Late Middle Ages until 1792 when Corvey was elevated to a prince-bishopric. Corvey, whose territory extended over a vast area, was in turn secularized in 1803 in the course of the German mediatisation and absorbed into the newly created Principality of Nassau-Orange-Fulda. Originally built in 822 and 885 and remodeled in the Baroque period, the abbey is an exceptional example of Carolingian architecture, the oldest surviving example of a westwork, and the oldest standing medieval structure in Westphalia. The original architecture of the abbey, with its vaulted hall and galleries encircling the main room, heavily influenced later western Romanesque and Gothic architecture. The inside of the westwork contains the only known wall paintings of ancie ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hagiography
A hagiography (; ) is a biography of a saint or an ecclesiastical leader, as well as, by extension, an adulatory and idealized biography of a preacher, priest, founder, saint, monk, nun or icon in any of the world's religions. Early Christian hagiographies might consist of a biography or ' (from Latin ''vita'', life, which begins the title of most medieval biographies), a description of the saint's deeds or miracles, an account of the saint's martyrdom (called a ), or be a combination of these. Christian hagiographies focus on the lives, and notably the miracles, ascribed to men and women canonized by the Roman Catholic church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Oriental Orthodox churches, and the Church of the East. Other religious traditions such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Islam, Sikhism and Jainism also create and maintain hagiographical texts (such as the Sikh Janamsakhis) concerning saints, gurus and other individuals believed to be imbued with sacred power.

Hathumoda
Hathumoda (840 – November 874) was a Saxon noblewoman who became the first abbess of Gandersheim. Her family, the Liudolfings, founded the Gandersheim Abbey, and she was cloistered since childhood. After she died in an epidemic, there was an unsuccessful attempt to promote her as a saint. Origin and childhood Hathumoda was born in 840. Her parents were Count Liudolf of Saxony and the Frankish noblewoman Oda. Hathumoda's family, the Liudolfings, were rich and powerful. Their ancestors had only recently been converted to Christianity, which may explain Hathumoda's name (spelt variously as ''Hathamod'', ''Hathemod'', ''Hadamot'', or ''Hadamout'' in Germanic sources), meaning "battle courage", unusual for a Christian woman. Oda's mother, Aeda, may have been the abbess of the Herford Abbey, the oldest women's monastery in Saxony. Herford Abbey followed the Benedictine rule, and Hathumoda was sent to be educated there as a child. Liudolf and Oda decided to found a new religious co ...
