St. Osburga
Also known as Osberga
Feast day formerly March 28;
cultus confirmed in the 15th century
Feast day: March 30
Death: 1016/ 1018
Generally, she is thought to have been the first abbess of the convent founded at Coventry by Canute before he was recognized as king of England, although nothing is known for certain. Her shrine became the site of so many miracles that, in 1410, the clergy and people of Coventry requested that a feast be established in her honor, which was granted by a synod and is still celebrated in the diocese of Birmingham
