Wiborada was a Swabian noblewoman and Benedictine nun who lived in the late ninth and early tenth centuries. After her parents died, she joined her brother Hatto at the Abbey of Saint Gall, where she learned Latin and worked as a librarian. Following a period of public trial by fire, she chose a life of asceticism as an anchoress. She lived in monastic cells near the churches of Saint George and Magnus of Füssen, gaining a reputation for her prophetic abilities and extreme austerity.
