She was born around the year 614 in what is now Beauvais ( Bellovacum ) in France.  The love of religious virginity was the reason for St Angadrisma's ardent wish to live in eternal chastity. However, her parents wanted her to get married to  Saint Ansbert (who subsequently became Archbishop of Rouen).

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MARCH Saints celebrated on the 27th of March ANDRAGISINA, ABBESS  Andragisina (Angadrisima) a virgin and abbess at Beauvais in France, was the daughter of Robert, who lived at the court of King Clotair.  SHE PRAYED TO BECOME UGLY IN APPEARANCE When her father wished her to marry a noble and upright man, named Ansbert , who later became Bishop of Rouen, she prayed to God to transform her beauty into a deformity (" rara feminis precatio " as our source puts it). God heard her prayer.  LIFE AT THE NUNNERY Then she entered the monastery at Beauvais. There she received the veil from St Audoënus, and later became the abbess. After her entry into the religious house she regained her former beauty, which now shone all the more brilliantly because it was the reflection of her spiritual beauty. She died around A.D. 670 or 680. (Information from Stadler's Complete Encyclopedia of Saints, 1858) ➡️ More information about this holy abbess
