- Saint Seaxburh or Saint Sexburga of Ely (died c. 699) was an Anglo-Saxon king's daughter, an Abbess and saint of the Christian Church. Seaxburh was one of four daughters of King Anna of East Anglia. Her sisters were Saint Æthelburg of Faremoutier and Saint Saethryth, who were both abbesses of Faremoutiers Abbey in Brie, Æthelthryth who was abbess of Ely and Withburga, an abbess of East Dereham. Seaxburh married Eorcenberht of Kent. She had two sons, Ecgberht and Hlothhere, who both became kings of Kent, and two daughters who were eventually canonised: Saint Ercongota, a nun at Faremoutiers, and Ermenilda, who married Wulfhere, King of Mercia, and after his death became a nun at Ely and eventually succeeded her sister as abbess. After the death of her husband on July 14, 664, she ruled Kent until her son came of age. Thereafter, Seaxburh became a nun and founded the abbey of Minster-in-Sheppey. Shortly afterwards she moved to Ely to join her sister Æthelthryth in the monastery for men and women she had founded there.. Æthelthryth died around 679 and Seaxburh was elected abbess in her place. In a vivid demonstration of the dynastic value of the cult of royal saints in the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, in 695, Bede recorded later, she organised the translation of St. Etheldreda's relics, which were discovered to be incorrupt, to a new shrine she had erected for her at Ely, which included a sarcophagus of white marble from the Roman ruins at Grantchester. The date of her death is not known for sure, but she is buried in Ely. St Sexburga's feast day is celebrated on July 6. An accessible source for her hagiography in the context of the Kentish royal legend is Rosalind C. Love, ed. , Goscelin of Saint-Bertin: The Hagiography of the Female Saints of Ely (Oxford Medieval Texts)
- Sexburga ist eine angelsächsische Heilige.
- Sexburga (ca. 625 - 699) of Saxeburg, was een Angelsaksische koningin en heilige. Sexburga was een dochter van koning Anna van East Anglia. Zij is begraven in Ely. Haar zusters Ethelburga, Withburga (non te Ely) en Etheldreda (abdis van Ely), en haar halfzuster Saethrid (abdis van Faremoutiers), werden ook allemaal heilig verklaard. Sexburga huwde rond 640 met Earconbert, koning van Kent, en werd de moeder van Egbert en Lotharius, die allebei koning van Kent zouden worden, en twee dochters, Earcongota, non in Faremoutiers, en Ermenhilda, die zou huwen met Wulfhere, de koning van Mercia en als weduwe abdis van Ely werd. Na de dood van haar echtgenoot in 664, stichtte Sexburga de abdij van Minster in Sheppey. Vijf jaar later verhuisde zij naar Ely, waar zij leefde onder de leiding van haar zuster Etheldreda, die daar toen abdis was. Etheldreda stierf vermoedelijk in 679 en Sexburga werd vervolgens tot abdis van Ely gekozen. Haar feestdag is op 6 juli.
