Blessed Adeline
Blessed Adeline (also known as Adeline of Grottaferrata or Blessed Adeline of the Benedictines; fl. 11th–12th century AD) is venerated as a Blessed in the Catholic Church — a woman of holy life associated with one of the religious communities of early medieval France or Italy. The precise identification of this Blessed Adeline is a matter of limited historical documentation, as several holy women of this name appear in medieval hagiographic tradition.
