Born in Northumbria, England; died c. 657. Saint Hieu received the veil from Saint Aidan, who appointed her abbess of Tadcaster abbey in Yorkshire. Some believe that Saint Hieu is identical to Saint Bega (Benedictines).

Troparion of St Hieu tone 8
In Tadcaster's Monastery, O Abbess Hieu,/ thou didst shine with the
virtues of asceticism and humility./ Pray that we also may follow the
example of thy great teacher, the Hierarch Aidan,/ and live lives of
spiritual struggle that our souls may be saved.
