Dates unknown. Saint Maxentia, an Irish or Scottish maiden of royal
descent, escaped from home in order to honour her vow of virginity made
to God. She settled as a recluse on the River Oise near Senlis in
France. There she was found by her
pursuers and put to death at the place now called Pont-Sainte-Maxence,
where her relics are enshrined. She is venerated in Scotland and
Beauvais on this day
(Benedictines,
Husenbeth).
