Daughter of Gal’aphron, king of Cathay, the capital of which was Albrac’ca. She was sent to sow discord among the Christians. Charlemagne sent her to the Duke of Bavaria, but she made her escape from the duke’s castle. Being captured in her flight, she was bound to a rock, and exposed to sea-monsters.
