Hodierna of St Albans
text:
Hodierna of St Albans was the mother of Alexander Neckam and wet nurse of Richard I of England. Hodierna is also known as Audierne. According to legend, Richard I and Alexander Neckam were born on the same day. The astrological significance of these two births may be the reason Hodierna was chosen as wet nurse. The boys were breastfed together, although as heir to the throne Richard was given the right breast which was believed to produce richer milk. Wet nurse to the young princes was an honour
