Biography

Wuna of Wessex (also known as Wunna, Winna, Wina, and Bonna) was a 7th and 8th-century Anglo-Saxon noblewoman and Christian saint. The name Wuna means "The Joyful One". Her actual name is unknown, but she has been called Wuna since the Middle Ages. According to Christian tradition, Wuna was the wife of Richard the Pilgrim and the mother of Willibald, Walpurga, and Winibald. She was from a noble family in Wessex. Some scholars have argued that she was a sister of Boniface. She died around the year 710; and is venerated in the Catholic Church with a feast day on 7 February.
