I was the daughter of a pagan Irish chieftain named Damon, and a beautiful devoted Christian woman. My mother died when I was a teenager. My father searched the Western world for a woman to replace his wife, but none could. Returning home, he saw that his daughter was as beautiful as her mother, and maddened by grief, he made advances on me. I fought him off, then fled to Belgium with Saint Gerebernus, an elderly priest and family friend.My father searched for us, and his search led to Belgium. There an innkeeper refused to accept his money, knowing it was difficult to exchange. This told Damon that I was close - it would be unusual for a village innkeeper to know a lot about foreign currency, and his knowledge indicated that had recently seen it. The king concentrated his search in the area. When he found us in Gheel, he beheaded Gerebernus, and demanded that I surrender to him. I refused, and he killed me in a rage.The site where I died is known for its miraculous healings of the insane and possessed. There is now a well-known institution on the site, and my relics are reported to cure insanity and epilepsy.
