She was a remarkable woman who became an hermit for several years, spending time adoring the eucharist. But then through supernatural promptings and a vision of Saint Francis before Christ, begging to be given her for the reform of the Franciscan orders he began, God called her to this activity, though she had no status in the Church. Resisting this, she became blind for three days. But then, accepting God will, her sight was restored. Then she went out and worked with great effect to reform the Order of the Poor Clares, bringing many houses to absolute poverty.
She died in 1477.
