Quenburge
Cuthburge, abbesse de
Wimborne, et sa soeur Quenburge (VIIIe siècle)
Première abbesse de Wimborne, fille, épouse et mère de rois, Cuthburge (ou Cuthburh) abandonna son époux pour devenir moniale à Barking sous l'autorité de Sainte Hildelite. Elle fonda avec sa sœur Quenburge (ou Cwenburh) un monastère à Wimborne dans le Dorset d'où plusieurs religieuses partirent en l'Allemagne rejoindre Saint Boniface.
Exigeante avec elle-même, douce avec les autres, elle mourut vers 725.
