Lucie de Sampigny was a Scottish princess who later moved to Lorraine to live as a shepherdess. According to tradition, she resided in the village of Sampigny near the Meuse river. While tending her flocks, she obtained permission from the local landowner to construct a small chapel. This site eventually became the foundation for the bishopric of Verdun, and she remains a significant figure in the religious history of the region.
