Cunigunde of Luxemburg
Empress Saint Cunigunde of Luxemburg (about 975 - 3 March 1033 or 1039 at Kaufungen ) was the wife of Saint Henry II.
Her parents were Siegfried I of Luxemburg (922 - 15 August 998) and Hedwig of Nordgau (about 935-992).
One year after her husband's death, she retired in 1025 to a Benedictine monastery she founded at Kaufungen in Germany (Hesse). She died in 1033 (or 1039), and was buried at Bamberg Cathedral near her husband.
She was canonised by Pope Innocent III on 29 March 1200.
