Biography

Blessed Edigna of Puch, also known as Blessed Edigna of Puch, was born in approximately 1055 as the daughter of King Henry I of France and Queen Anna of Kiev. However, the details of her background and royal connections remain shrouded in uncertainty. The traditional account of her life suggests that at the age of 19, Edigna escaped from an arranged marriage and the worldly life, seeking solace as a hermit. Legend holds that she embarked on her journey by hitching a ride on a farmer's cart, which eventually brought her to Puch, Fürstenfeldbruck, in modern-day Germany.
