Saint Ida of Herzfeld (c. 788 – c. 825) was the widow of a Saxon duke who devoted her life to the poor following the death of her husband in 811. Among her reported acts of kindness were filling a stone coffin with food each day, then giving it to the poor; she also reportedly founded the church at Hovestadt, Westphalia, and the convent of Herzfeld, Westphalia, sometimes recorded as Hirutveldun.
