Hermana de: Didon, bishop of Poitiers
St. Sigrada was a sister of Didon, Bishop of Poitiers 656-670. She and her brother might have been descendants of Senator Ansbertus and of Tonantius Ferreolus, who was Consul of Rome in 453.
She was the mother of St. Léger, Bishop of Autun, and St. Guérin. She was shut up in the monastery of Notre Dame de Soissons by Ebroin, who persecuted her family for their faith in Christ. Her goods were confiscated, and her son, Guérin, was stoned to death. Her other son, St. Léger, was thrown into prison, where he was subjected to cruel conditions.
She died shortly after the martyrdom of her sons.

Léger d'Autun or Léodegard (in Latin Leodegarius) is the son of Bodilon von Thurgau and Sigarde of Neustrie, daughter of Ansoud of Neustrie known as of Dijon, who becomes Saint Sigarde.
His mother has as his brother the bishop of Poitiers Dido; and his sister Béreswinthe, wife of Athalric, Duke of Alsace and mother of Saint Odile1.
Léger's brother, Warin/Guérin de Vergyn 1 and Poitiers, is also a powerful lord of Burgondie. Victim of the same Ebroin for the same reasons as Léger, he died as a martyr before his brother 2.

Brucker, Pierre-Paul. L'Alsace et l'Eglise au temps du Pape Saint Léon IX (Bruno d'Eguisheim). Tome Premier (Paris, France: Retaux-Bray, 1889) p. 299. Berswinde, born about 1640, married Etichon during the reign of Childeric II (660-673) and their daughter Sainte Odile was born circa 660. Brucker gives a good chronology in the book, and cites the chronicle of Ebersheim and a handwritten notice from the 9th century formerly preserved at the abbey of Saint-Grégoire, and which make Berswinde the niece of Saint Léger d'Autun (sister of Saint Léger was born circa 620 and Berswinde circa 640 or slightly after).
