She was born in Tongeren, known as Tongres in French (which is why she is also called Lutgardis of Tongres or Luitgard of Tonger(e)n), and entered monastic life at the age of twelve. During her life, various miracles were attributed to her, and she is known to have experienced religious ecstasy. Her feast day is 16 June.
