Little is known about Aye's early life or date of birth, but available sources state that she was the daughter of Brunulph, count d’Arennes and a relative of Saint Waldetrudis.[1] She was married to Saint Hidulf of Hainault until both decided to enter religious life, after which point they parted ways.[4]
Aye joined the Abbey of Mons in Belgium, where she became a nun, and gave her property away to the nuns of Saint Waldetrudis.[2] The date of her death is not concretely known as sources place her death around the year 707 as well as 714.[5]
Aye is known as the patron saint of lawsuits. She is believed to have gained the title due to a lawsuit that decided "her heirs against the Canonesses of Mons".[1] A variant legend states that she righted an injustice by speaking from beyond the grave.[6]
