She was declared a saint after her death, and later her remains were moved to Canterbury. Life and familyMildrith was the daughter of King Merewalh of Magonsaete, a sub-kingdom of Mercia, and Domne Eafe (also sometimes named as Saint Eormenburga),[1] herself the great granddaughter of King Æthelberht of Kent, and as such appearing in the so-called Kentish Royal Legend. Her sisters Mildburh (Saint Milburga of Much Wenlock) and Mildgytha (Saint Mildgyth) were also considered saints, and Mildrith, along with her extended family, features in the Kentish Royal Legend (also known as the "Mildrith Legend").{{sfn|Hollis|1998|p=42}} Goscelin wrote a hagiography of Mildrith, the Vita Mildrethae in the 11th century.[2] The Nova Legenda Anglie of 1516 gives an extensive account of her life. Mildrith's maternal family had close ties to the Merovingian rulers of Gaul, and Mildrith is said to have been educated at the prestigious Merovingian royal abbey of Chelles.[1] She entered the abbey of Minster-in-Thanet, which her mother had established, and became abbess there by 694. A number of dedications to Mildrith exist in the Pas-de-Calais, including at Millam, thereby suggesting that ties to Gaul were maintained. Mildrith died at Minster-in-Thanet some time after 732 and was buried there in the Abbey Church of St Mary.[2] Relic remainsMildrith's successor as Abbess, Eadburg (also styled Edburga of Minster-in-Thanet, a correspondent of Saint Boniface), built a new Abbey church, also at Minster in Thanet, dedicated to saints Peter and Paul, and translated Mildrith's remains there not later than 748 .D.[2] The shrine within the Abbey became a popular place of local pilgrimage, with Mildrith becoming a much-loved local patron saint.[3] The last Abbess of Minster in Thanet was Leofruna, who was captured by Danes in 1011. The abbey was abandoned and the church downgraded to a parish church.[4] Mildrith's remains, despite fierce local opposition,[5] were translated to St Augustine's Abbey, Canterbury in 1030,[1] an event commemorated on 18 May. St. Mildred's church, within the town walls at Canterbury, dates back to this time.[6] Some of her relics were given, in the 11th century, to a church at Deventer, Netherlands. In 1881 the feast day of St. Mildred was officially reinstated by Pope Leo XIII.[7] In 1882, following a refounding of a Benedictine monastery at Minster in Thanet, the nuns petitioned the Archbishop of Utrecht, who granted their return to Thanet.[8] In 1937 Minster Abbey was bought by nuns of the Benedictine order, and in 1953 a relic of St. Mildred was brought there.[7] Family treeThe family tree of this part of the royal family of Kent in the 7th century is derived from the later Old English and Latin accounts. Eadbold became king in 616 A.D, succeeded by Eorcantberht in 640 A.D. (possibly co-ruling with his brother Eormenred, Mildrith's grandfather). Ecgberht came to the throne in 664 and died in 673 A.D.[9] {{chart top|width=100%}}{{chart/start|align=center|summary=Family tree of members of the Royal Family of Kent, from Eadbold (616 A.D.) to Ecgberht (664 A.D.), including Ecgberht's cousin St. Mildrith.}}{{chart| | | | | | |Ed |v|Ym |Ed=Eadbaldking of Kent|Ym=Emma}}{{chart| | | | | |,|-|-|-|+|-|-|-|.}}{{chart|Sx|v|Eot| |Eah| |Eod|v|Os|Sx=St Seaxburh of Ely|Eot=Eorcenberht king of Kent|Eah=St Eanswith of Folkestone|Eod=Eormenred ? king of Kent|Os=Oslafa}}{{chart| |,|-|'| | | | | | |,|-|-|-|v|^|-|-|v|-|-|-|v|-|-|.}}{{chart|Egb| | |Mrw |v|DE | |Aed| |Aet| |EoG| |Eoh|Egb=Ecgberht king of Kent|DE=Domne Eafe|Mrw=Merewalh king of the Magonsæte|Aed=St Æthelred|Aet=St Æthelberht|EoG=Eormenburg|Eoh=Eormengyth }}{{chart| | | | |,|-|-|-|+|-|-|-|v|-|-|-|.}}{{chart| | | |Mre| |Mr | |Mb | |Mg | | | | | | Mre=Merefin|Mr=St Mildrith|Mb=St Mildburh of Wenlock|Mg=St Mildgyth}}{{chart/end}}{{chart bottom}} References1. ^1 2 [https://archive.org/stream/bookofsaintsdict00stau#page/196/mode/2up St. Augustine's Abbey, The Book of Saints, A&C Black, Ltd., London, 1921] 2. ^1 2 Rollason (1982) p. 16 3. ^minster-in-thanet.org.uk/abbey accessed 12 October 2014 4. ^Rollason (1982) p.53 5. ^Rollason (1982) p.36 6. ^www.stpeters-stmildreds.org.uk St. Mildred's Church website. 7. ^1 Minster Abbey Chronological Table Benedictine Nuns of Minster Abbey.
