30 APRIL

This is the feast of two English priest martyrs, Blessed Miles Gerard and Blessed Francis Dickenson (also sometimes spelled Dickinson or Dicconson), who were both hanged, drawn and quartered for their priesthood on this day in 1590.

This is also the feast of Blessed Hildegard who married well and became Mrs. Charlemagne. It's difficult to find much about her on the web as most of the lebendy-leben billion sites seem to be new-age drivel or femininist fantasizing about Hildegard von Bingen.
