==Life== She was from a noble family in Gascony, the daughter of Ernoldo, lord of Toulouse. She married Adalbard, Duke of Douai, despite the opposition of some members of her family. In Hucbald's account, this is shown deliberately as a model marriage. It is unclear whether she had four or five children. Her four known children were: Clotsinda, successor as abbess, Adalsinda, Eusebia and Maurantius.
