Saint Bega
Saint Bega was a princess who lived in Ireland during the Early Middle Ages. She was promised in marriage to a Viking prince, but she fled across the Irish Sea to land at St. Bees on the Cumbrian coast. There she settled for a time, leading a life of exemplary piety. However, she eventually moved to Northumbria, fearing the raids of pirates that were starting along the coast.
