Ida of Boulogne

- 1113

• Name	Ida of Boulogne
  Religion	say 1090
  Ida was always religiously and charitably active, but the death of her husband provided her wealth and the freedom to use it for her projects. She founded several monasteries: Saint-Wulmer in Boulogne-sur-Mer Our Lady of the Chapel, Calais Saint-Bertin Abbey of Cappelle Abbey of Le Wast She maintained a correspondence with Anselm of Canterbury. Some of Anselm's letters to Ida have survived. She became increasingly involved in church life. However, current scholarship feels that she did not actually become a Benedictine Nun, but that she was a "Secular Oblate of the Benedictine Order".
  Death	13 Apr 1113  [1]
  Burial	Abbey of Le Wast, Le Wast, Pas-de-Calais, Hauts-de-France, France   [1]
  Traditionally, her burial place has been ascribed to the monastery of Le Wast. Her remains were moved in 1669 to Paris and again in 1808 to Bayeux. [1]
