Erminethrudis - also known as Ermintrude - (died c. 600), was a nun and a member of the Merovingian aristocracy who died in Paris about 600, leaving a will which survived as a rare example from the period.
The testament of Erminethrudis serves as a rare example of some conditions of a woman in the aristocracy in this time period, as only nuns or widows left wills in their own capacity, of which few survive.[1] She owned two villas in Lagny-sur-Marne and Bobigny and at least 13 separate vineyards in this area east of Paris, leaving properties to the Basilica of Saint-Denis and other basilicas.[2]
She also had been married and had children before joining her religious order. Her son Deorovaldus had been buried in St Sympherien of Paris before her death.[3][4]
She also had a surviving son to whom she left clothing and other possessions. She left individual items of gold jewelry to four Parisien basilicas[5] and freed a number of unfree workers from her lands. [6]. The religious gifts were designed to ensure prayers being said for her and her son in perpetuity. [7]
