Maxellende de Caudry was a 7th-century martyr from the diocese of Cambrai. As the daughter of a wealthy landowner named Huinlinus, she was expected to marry Harduin d'Armeval, the future lord of Solesmes. However, she refused the union to maintain her religious devotion. This resistance led to her death in 670 at the hands of her intended husband. Following her murder, Harduin reportedly lost his sight, though he later regained it through a miraculous encounter with her remains.
