'''Gudula of Brabant''', also known as '''Saint Gudula''' (ca. 646&ndash;712), was a [[Christian saint]] who is venerated in [[Catholic]] and [[Eastern Orthodox Church|Orthodox]] churches. In [[Province of Brabant|Brabant]], she is usually called ''Goedele'' or ''Goule''; ({{langx|la|Gudila}}, later ''{{lang|la|Gudula}}''; {{langx|nl|Goedele}}; {{langx|fr|Gudule}}). Her name is connected to several places: [[Moorsel]] (where she lived), [[Brussels]] (where a [[Chapter (religion)|chapter]] in her honour was founded in 1047) and [[Eibingen]] (where the relic of her skull is conserved).
