  St Seaxburh
Seaxburh's daughter Eormenhilda married Wulfhere (son of the formidable Penda), king of Mercia (657-674), by whom she had a son, Coenræd, king of Mercia from 704 until his abdication and retirement to Rome in 709 (Bede HE V, 13, 19, and 24), and a daughter, St Wærburh.
Seaxburh's grandson by Hlothere, later known as St Richard of Lucca, was the father of three saintly children: St Willibald (first Englishman to visit the Middle East and apostle of Bavaria), St Wynbald (or Winnibald) (apostle of Thuringia and Abbot of Heidenheim), and St Walburh (Abbess of Heidenheim).
Seaxburh passed away by about 700 [6th July] and was entombed close to her sister at Ely.

  Seaxburh of Wessex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Seaxburh was the queen of Wessex, ruling jointly with her husband Cenwalh of Wessex, from 672 until 674.
It is possible that she is the same Seaxburh who married Eorcenberht of Kent, in which case she was the daughter of Anna of East Anglia and sister of Æthelthryth.
If this is the case, she became an abbess after Cenwalh's death, but some sources claim that she died in 674, the same year as Cenwalh.
