Bertha of Val d'Or was a 7th-century French abbess and virgin who lived in the Champagne region. Married to Gombert, a nobleman of the French royal family, she maintained a celibate life within a convent established by her husband at Avenay. Following the death of Gombert at the hands of pagan marauders, she led her community to Val d'Or. She is recognized as a saint in both the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox traditions for her devotion and eventual martyrdom.
