-'''Alburga''' (died 810) was a member of the royal house of [[Wessex]], abbess of [[Wilton Abbey|Wilton]] and a saint.
-Alburga was the half-sister of [[Egbert of Wessex|Egbert, King of Wessex]], and wife of [[Ealdorman]] [[Wulfstan of Wiltshire]] (or '''Weohstan'''). On her husband's death in 802, she turned the college of secular priests which he had established in an old church in Wilton, into a [[Benedictine]] convent with twelve nuns, of which she became the abbess and is held to be the founder. She died there on [[Christmas Day]] 810, and her feast is celebrated accordingly on 25 December.
