Quiteria was a fifth-century Gallo-Roman saint and virgin martyr born in Braga. According to tradition, she was the daughter of a Roman governor and was among nine sisters born at once. After refusing to marry or renounce her Christian faith, she fled her father's pursuit. She eventually met her end in Aire-sur-l'Adour, where she was beheaded. She is remembered for her resistance against the Roman Empire and her devotion to her faith, leading to her recognition as a saint in several Christian traditions.
