Segolena of Albi was a 7th-century deaconess and Benedictine abbess born into a noble Aquitaine family. After marrying Gislulf at age twelve, she requested a Josephite marriage, giving her husband all her possessions to ensure her religious freedom. Following her husband's death ten years later, she sought to live a consecrated life. After being appointed a deaconess by the local bishop, she successfully persuaded her father to establish a convent on his property, where she eventually served as abbess.
