Adeloga of Kitzingen
About Adeloga of Kitzingen
Adeloga, also called Hadeloga, is remembered as the first abbess of Kitzingen. The received account places the foundation in 732 and describes her as a Frankish noblewoman.
It relates that a wish for consecrated life brought conflict with her father before a later reconciliation. The official source identifies the underlying biography as a legendary account from the twelfth century.
Its estimates for her birth and death therefore belong to this later tradition.
