[Mildgytha, Mildwitha, Milgith or Milwith, as she is variously
called, is commemorated in the English Kalendars.]
Nothing more is known of S. Mildgytha than that she was the youngest
sister of S. Mildred and S. Milburgh, and daughter of S. Ermenburga and
Merewald, Prince of Mercia, who was the son of the terrible Penda, the
great enemy of Christianity in Mid-England. Mildgytha, like her sisters,
took the veil, and died a nun at Canterbury.
