Eormenburg combines the Old English eormen (great, universal) and burh (fortress). **Eormenburg (7th c.)** was the Kentish queen, **mother of Saints Mildred, Mildburh, and Mildgyth** — the three holy Mild- sisters who became Anglo-Saxon abbesses.
Featured in the Mildrith Legend.
Eormenburg reduces to eight — the number of Kentish queen-mother.
