With all due respect, I think this is Adelaide of Villich.

In reverse order...
Adelaide was indeed of Villich; her tale needs no emBellichment from
me. Hasn't Adelaide's *vita* been published by someone on our list?
Yes! It is I, Peregrina! Check out my web page:
http://home.ican.net/~margot/Peregrina.html. The relevant information
is:
Peregrina Translations, 19. The Life of Adelheid of Vilich by Berta of
Vilich; translated, with introduction, notes, genealogies, and maps, by
Madelyn Bergen Dyck. ($15.00) [A biography of the founder of the
monastery of Vilich with historically accurate information about a
network of German aristocratic families of which both Adelheid and her
biographer, Berta, were members].
