Alina Martain

Alina Martain, born in the late eleventh century, became a Benedictine nun at an early age. In 1105 Count William of Mortain built a convent of which Alina became the first superior. After a life of asceticism and voluntary mortification, she died in 1125. Her feast day is October 20.[1]

She does not appear in the index of the 2004 edition of the Roman Martyrology.[2]
