Hodierna of Gometz was the daughter of Guillame de Gometz Lord of Gometz; wife of Gui I of Montlhéry.
Together with her husband and with the support of the Bishop of Paris Guido in 1061 they founded the Benedictine Priory of Notre-Dame of Longpont-sur-Orge, which they handed over to twenty-two monks from the Abbey of Cluny. Longpont thus became the first branch of the Association of
clunizianischen monastery in the region around Paris. Hodierna gave the Abbey a chalice of Gold 30 Oz and a valuable chasuble.
According to legend Hodierna with her own hands participated in the construction and that she was going to fetch water at a distant fountain, which still had the reputation to cure the fever. One day Hodierne came asking the blacksmith to provide her with an iron bar that would help her to better carry buckets. The blacksmith, influenced by his nasty wife, gives her derisively, a red fire bar. Hodierne is spared any burning. The 'red iron cross' is today preserved at the bottom of the Basilica.
The legend also claims that she cursed the blacksmith and he died soon after.
The Basilique is beautiful, very large, and contained a large number of tombs. Hodierne was buried before the high altar, under a grave which read: Hodierae inclytcae omitisshae erici montis sacrarum harum Aedium fundatricis ossa Sub dio jacentia ab anno millesimo, pro nichaelis Lewis Domni of rocks, hujusce domus priori studio hic translata fuere anno 1651 die ultima mensis augusti.
