Itta of Metz was a 7th-century Frankish noblewoman and saint who lived in Austrasia. As the wife of Pepin of Landen, the Mayor of the Palace, she occupied a high social position before dedicating herself to religious life. Following the death of her husband, she established the Abbey of Nivelles, which functioned as a double monastery for monks and nuns. Serving as an abbess within this Benedictine community, she played a significant role in the spiritual development of her family and the region.
