Egila (Buchau)
Egila (* after 1000 ) was the sixth abbess of the free worldly Buchau women's monastery in today's Bad Buchau am Federsee .
In 1045 Hermann the Lame wrote a poem with the title ad amiculas suas quasdam sanctimoniales feminas . The historian Arno Borst suspects that the head of a monastery described in the poem could have been Egila. There are no other sources or evidence about Egila.
