prayer_attrib=Saint Erentrude, or Erentraud (died 710), is a virgin saint of the Roman Catholic Church and was the niece of Saint
Rupert of Salzburg . Her date and place of birth are unknown but it may be surmised that she was born in present-day Germany or Austria, in the latter-part of the 7th century. She followed her uncle from Worms toSalzburg and was there placed by him as the first abbess ofNonnberg Abbey . She died on 30 June 710 – the same year as Saint Rupert.Her relics are in the crypt of St Mary's church, not far from her convent. Her feast is kept on June 30, and September 4 commemorates the translation of her relics.
