More info and citations and name change
I see that most of the "official" Catholic sites spell her name "Walburga", not Walpurga. There are also two great articles for research/citation for flushing this page out some more. Her cause of death isn't given in either this article or the Walpurgis Night one. Anyone object to my making changes/additions based on the below sources? Does anyone have better sources for this?
Her section of Feb 25th's Reading of the Martyrology is, "In the monastery of Heidenheim, in the Eichstadt diocese in Germany, St. Walburga, virgin. She was the daughter of St. Richard, king of England, and sister of St. Willebald, bishop of Eichstadt."
