Saint Relindis (or Renule) (died 750) sister of Saint Herlindis was the daughter of count Adelard who built a Benedictine monastery at Maaseik for his daughters. Herlindis was abbess of the abbey until her death after which Relindis was named to succeed her by Saint Boniface. Relindus was gifted in embroidery and painting. The vestments of Sts. Harlindis and Relindis now in Maaseik Belgium are the earliest surviving examples of Anglo-Saxon embroidery.
