Kyneburga married Alhfrith of Deira, co-regent of Northumbria (who attended the Synod of Whitby in 664), but later founded an abbey for both monks and nuns in Castor, in the Soke of Peterborough. She became the first abbess and was later joined by Kyneswide and Tibba. Kyneswide succeeded Kyneburga as abbess and she was later succeeded by Tibba.
Her sister, Saint Kyneburga, and relative, Saint Tibba, also played important roles in the early Christian movement. Born into a family known for their opposition to Christianity, Kyneswide's life took a dramatic turn when she experienced a profound conversion to the Christian faith.
