Dymphna's father searched for them, and his search led to Belgium. There a village innkeeper refused to accept his money, saying it was difficult to exchange. The king deduced that his runaway daughter was living nearby, for otherwise the inkeeper would be unlikely to know about foreign currency.
Continuing to search the area, Damon soon found the pair hiding in the town of Gheel. In a fury, he beheaded poor Gerebernus and then demanded that Dymphna give herself to him. She again refused, and so he summarily killed her.
In later years, an institution for the insane was erected near Dymphna's grave, and as it became known for its miraculous healings of the mentally ill, epileptic, and possessed, Dymphnawas deemed the Patron Saint not only of the victims of child sexual abuse, incest, and rape, but also of those suffering from nervous afflictions such as anorexia nervosa, depression, and anxiety.
Her feast day is May 15."
