Angadrisma (Angadrême, Angadresima, Angadreme, Angradesma, Andragasyna) (d. ca. 695) was a 7th-century abbess and saint, daughter of Robert I, Bishop of Tours.

Life

Originally from Thérouanne, Angadrisma, belonged to the family of the Counts of Boulogne (Pas-de-Calais). A cousin to Lambert, Bishop of Lyon, she was educated at Thérouanne by Lambert and Saint Audomare (Omer).[1]

Although she wished to become a nun, she was promised in an arranged marriage to Saint Ansbert of Chaussy.[2] Tradition states that Angadrisma, wishing for a way out, prayed fervently and was stricken with leprosy. She was cured when she was allowed to become a nun and received the veil from Saint Ouen, archbishop of Rouen.[2]

Around 660, her father built her a Benedictine monastery in Oroër-des-Vierges, near Beauvais, where she became abbess. She died on 14 October c.695, over 80 years old.[1]

Angadrisma is portrayed in art with her face pitted by leprous skin.[2] She is venerated as the patron of the diocese of Beauvais.[2]
