Saint Edburga of Minster-in-Thanet (also known as Eadburh and Bugga) was the only daughter of King Centwine and Queen Engyth of Wessex in the 8th century of the Kent royal family and a saint in the Roman Catholic Church. Edburga was a friend and student of Saint Mildred and regularly corresponded to Saint Boniface. She became a Benedictine nun and the Abbess of The Minster-in-Thanet Abbey in 716. She succeeded St. Mildred as the abbess. During her time as an abbess she was able to secure royal charters for the abbey as well as having a new church built there.
