Melodies Saint Dymphna

( Tinka x Ryon O' Malley )

 

Saint Dymphna is traditionally held to be the daughter of a pagan Irish chief and his Christian wife in the 7th century.

Dymphna was born in Ireland. Her father was a king. When her mother died she was only fourteen. Her father Damon scoured the world for a suitable and equally beautiful replacement. After the search failed, his advisors pointed out to the chief that his teenage daughter had inherited her mother's looks. Driven mad by grief and mental illness, Damon made advances on Dymphna. Together with her confessor, the elderly priest St. Gerebernus,the court jester and his wife she fled to Gheel,Belgium. There they took refuge at a chapel near the present day site of Gheel, not far from Antwerp. However Damon's spies tracked them down and the chief set out after them. Confronting them at Gheel, he ordered his soldiers to slay Gerebernus and begged Dymphna to return with him to Ireland. When she refused, he decapitated her in a rage. Locals later buried the two bodies. A few years later, they decided to make a better burial site and found 2 tombs where they had buried them.
