Belina was a 12th-century virgin martyr from the Champagne region of France. Born to pious serfs serving the Lord of Pradines and D'Arcy, she lived a simple life as a peasant. Her death occurred in Landreville, near Troyes, after she rejected the unwanted advances of her feudal lord. Because of her refusal to comply with his improper demands, the lord killed her with a sword. She was later canonized by Pope Innocent III in 1203.
