ST. ALICE, OR ADELAIDE, V. ABBESS.

SHE was daughter of Megendose, count of Guelders, and governed the

nunnery of Bellich on the Rhine, near Bonn, (now a church of

canonesses,) but died in 1015, abbess of our Lady's in Cologne, both

monasteries having been founded by her father. Her festival, with an

octave, is kept at Bellich, or Vilich, where the nunnery which she

instituted, of the order of St. Bennet, is now converted into a church

of canonesses. See her life in Surius and Bollandus; also Miraeus, in

Fastis Belgicis, &c.
