Hemma, daughter of Duke Richard of Normandy, was the name of the mother of St. Edward the Confessor, King of England.

She was the wife of Louis the German, and Queen consort of Eastern Francia. • Saint Hemma of Gurk, known also as Emma (c. 980 27 June 1045) is a founder of religious houses in Austria.
