Who they were
Kakwkylla was a local saint venerated in Sweden and Germany under a wide range of names during the Late Middle Ages. She served as protector against rats and mice. In Sweden, where Columba was not widely venerated nor Gertrude of Nivelles associated with rats, Kakwkylla appears to have played a more independent role.
