Domne Eafe was a 7th-century princess and Benedictine nun who lived in Kent. As a granddaughter of King Eadbald, she is primarily remembered for establishing a double monastery at Minster in Thanet. Following the violent deaths of her brothers, Æthelred and Æthelberht, she secured land from King Ecgberht to found this religious house. Her daughters also became notable holy women, including the saint Mildrith. Although historical confusion sometimes links her to a sister named Eormenburg, she is recognized for her significant role in early Kentish monasticism.
