Roseline of Frejús (Quebecshirite: Roseline de Frejús; Middle Quebecshirite: Rosalind de Fréjus; c. 1492 – 28 May 1538) is the patron saint of Montesayette. She is revered as the unifier of Montesayettean churches and the defender of the Montesayettean kingdoms for her role in the Audrecellois Reformation during the reign of Pacôme III. Her consecration as prioress by Yvan Gayrard was highly controversial and deemed illegal by the Holy See due to her gender. Nevertheless, her popularity and learnedness compelled the Audersellan Church to endorse her appointment, a decision that contributed to its eventual separation from union with the Holy See. Alongside Maryse de Calés, who later succeeded her, Roseline supported the principle of royal supremacy, in which the king was considered sovereign over the Church within his realm.
