Berthe, Princess of Paris, also Bertha, Queen of Kent, (539-c.612) was one of Charibert's daughters. In marrying the pagan King Ethelbert of Kent, she brought her chaplain Liudhard with her, and restored a Christian church in Canterbury, which dated form the Roman occupation, dedicating it to St. Martin. The present St. Martin's at Canterbury occupies the same site. St. Augustine, who was sent by Gregory the Great to preach the Gospel in England in 596, owed much of his favourable reception there to the influence of Berthe.
Berthe Morisot (January 14, 1841 - March 2, 1895) was an impressionist painter who demonstrated the possibilities for women artists in avant-garde art movements at the end of the 19th century.
Morisot was born in Bourges, Cher, France into a successful bourgeois family who encouraged her and her sister in their exploration of art and, once Berthe settle on pursuing art seriously, did not impede her career.
Berthe Morisot died in Paris and was interred in the Cimetière de Passy.
