Laurie Landis told me more that once she was kin to much royalty. Alas, I found her lineage. Is it any wonder we were drawn to one another. The Rosemondt family were nobles of Brabant. The crown Begga wears is of the Franks, a royal line seeded by Pharamond and Rosamunde Argotta. ARGO

To behold a Saint with a Church in one hand and a crown upon her head, signifying the seven churches Begga founded, dwarfs the pretentions of the Sinclair family.

Saint Begga (also Begue, Begge) (615 – 17 December 693) was the daughter of Pepin of Landen, mayor of the palace of Austrasia, and his wife Itta of Metz. On the death of her husband, she took the veil, founded seven churches, and built a convent at Andenne on the Meuse River (Andenne sur Meuse) where she spent the rest of her days as abbess. She was buried in Saint Begga’s Collegiate Church in Andenne.

Life[edit]

The daughter of Pepin of Landen and his wife, Itta, Begga was the older sister of St Gertrude of Nivelles.[1] She married Ansegisel, son of Arnulf, Bishop of Metz, and had three children: Pepin of Heristal, Martin of Laon, and Clotilda of Heristal, who married Theuderic III of the Franks.[2] Ansegisel was killed sometime before 679, slain in a feud by his enemy Gundewin. Begga made a pilgrimage to Rome, and upon her return built seven churches at Andenne on the Meuse.[3]
