BLESSED BEATRICE OF MARMOUTIER
Blessed Beatrice was a nun at the convent of the Blessed Virgin Mary de Oliva at Marmoutier (Marimontium) in Hainault, who, seduced by a wayward cleric, left the convent and lived in sin for fifteen years. After that time, however, she returned to her convent once more, repentant, and served God in the strictest penance until the end of her life. (El., Buc.)
