Amalberga of Temse was an 8th-century Frankish noblewoman and nun who lived in the regions of Lotharingia and Flanders. Raised by Saint Landrada, she dedicated her life to religious service, likely serving as an abbess or governing a community of nuns. She is famously remembered for refusing marriage proposals from Charlemagne, an act that led to a legendary pursuit. Recognized as a saint in both Catholic and Eastern Orthodox traditions, she is the patron of Temse and those suffering from upper limb injuries.
