Other surviving buildings are the château of Grandvillars (often erroneously spelled "Granvillars"), built around 1790 and the canoness houses of the Benedictine abbey of Masevaux (1781–1790). Nine of these houses had been planned but due to the French Revolution, only seven were built.
Béatrix was the daughter of Franz Joseph Marquis de Choiseul, Marquis of Stainville, and Marie-Louise Bassompierre, and sister of Étienne François, duc de Choiseul.

Verified: 8 January 2013. Evidently Hrotsvitha employed as a source for her play the Vita Thaisis, a several-centuries-old translation into Latin of the life of Saint Thaïs (the original in Greek). The playwright, a Benedictine Canoness of Saxony (northwest Germany), drawing on the tradition, apparently created a narrative line and a distinctive character for St. Thaïs appropriate to the medieval Christian worldview.Katherine N. Wilson (translated with an introduction), The Dramas of Hrotsvit of Gandersheim (Saskatoon: Peregina Publishing Co. 1985), the drama The Conversion of the Harlot Thais at 92-112.
Theophilus's story played a role in establishing the importance of the intercession of the Virgin Mary, in addition to providing a basis for later tales involving the conjuration of devils. In the 10th century, the German canoness Hrotsvitha included the story of Theophilus in her Book of Legends. The Virgin Mary increased in her theological importance throughout the 11th century. The story was used to illustrate the power and necessity of her intercession by Peter Damian, Bernard of Clairvaux, Anthony of Padua, Bonaventure and much later on by Alphonsus Liguori.

At her mother's request, and through the mediation of her second cousin, Anton Ulric of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel, from 1665 she acquired a benefice (income) through her appointment as the then youngest canoness of Gandersheim Abbey. Despite her relative youth, on 3 October 1665 Christina was elected deaconess at the abbey, on the recommendation of Augustus, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, who was the younger of her mother's surviving uncles. Being deaconess lined her up as deputy and likely successor to the Abbess Dorothea Hedwig, another kinswoman. However, the Abbess Dorothea Hedwig retired from the post sooner than had been anticipated.
The mission of this convent was to provide a home for young ladies of the nobility who had insufficient financial means to live unmarried in the world. In 1766, the Empress Maria Theresa arranged for the convent to give to Louise one of its endowed prebends. Although technically Louise was a canoness (a type of nun), she was not required to stay in the convent cloister and was still allowed to travel in society.

All eight of her great-grandparents belonged to the high nobility: Taye, Coudenhove, d'Orgnies, de Berghes Saint Winnoc, de Coutereau, de Nesselrode, Leefdael en Vlaederaecken.
Margaret became an Augustinian canoness at nearby Killeigh, shortly before she died of breast cancer in 1451. Her death in 1451 was greeted with sadness by those whom she patronised. The chronicler of the Annals of Connacht remarked that she was "the best woman of the Gaedil and the one who made the most causeways, churches, books, chalices and all articles useful for the service of a church ... she died of a cancer in the breast this year ... the darling of all the Leinster people" (do ec do galur cigí in hoc anno)." However, later in the same passage it is stated that she actually "died of a disease which is not fitting to mention with her, namely leprosy.
Hrotsvitha was a German secular canoness, who was born about 935 and died about 973. Her work continues to be seen as important as she was the first female writer from the German Lands, was the first female historian, and is thought to be the first person since antiquity to write dramas in the Latin West. Moreover, since her rediscovery in the 1600s by Conrad Celtis, Hrotsvitha has become a source of interest and study particularly for feminists, as feminists have begun to re-contextualize her work through feminist lenses. This re-contextualization has led some to argue that while Hrotsvitha was not a feminist, that she is important in the history of feminism.
Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich (also Anna Katharina Emmerick; 8 September 1774 – 9 February 1824) was a Roman Catholic Augustinian Canoness Regular of Windesheim, mystic, Marian visionary, ecstatic and stigmatist. She was born in Flamschen, a farming community at Coesfeld, in the Diocese of Münster, Westphalia, Germany, and died at age 49 in Dülmen, where she had been a nun, and later become bedridden. Emmerich experienced visions on the life and passion of Jesus Christ, reputed to be revealed to her by the Blessed Virgin Mary under religious ecstasy.Emmerich, Anna Catherine: The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ page viii During her bedridden years, a number of well- known figures were inspired to visit her.
The Hroswitha Club was founded in 1944 by a group of women bibliophiles: Sarah Gildersleeve Fife (who convened the group), Belle da Costa Greene, Anne Lyon Haight, Ruth S. Granniss, Eleanor Cross Marquand, Henrietta C. Bartlett and Rachel McMasters Miller Hunt. It was named in honor of Hrotsvitha of Gandersheim, a 10th-century German secular canoness, dramatist and poet. At the time of the Club's founding, women bibliophiles were not allowed membership in many premier bibliographic societies such as the Grolier Club, the oldest existing bibliophilic club in North America, or the Caxton Club. (This policy remained in place at both the Grolier and Caxton Clubs until 1976.) The first meeting of the Hroswitha Club was held on November 16, 1944, at the Cosmopolitan Club.
In 1771, Louise's younger sister (also a canoness at St. Waudru) married the Marquess of Jamaica, only son of the 3rd Duke of Berwick (great-grandson of King James II of England and VII of Scotland). The Duke of Berwick's uncle, the Duke of Fitz-James, began negotiations with Louise's mother for a marriage between Louise and Charles Edward Stuart, the Jacobite claimant to the English and Scottish thrones. Although King Louis XV of France recognised the succession of the House of Hanover, he also hoped that the legitimate Stuart line would not die out and would be an ongoing threat to the Hanoverians. The negotiations were delicate, since Louise's family had no money of its own and relied totally on the goodwill of the Empress Maria Theresa (who was allied to the Hanoverians).
Dulcitius was a Roman governor of Macedonia during the reign of the emperor Diocletian, at the turn of the fourth century AD. He is chiefly remembered for his role in a hagiographic tale of the persecution of several Christian women in Thessalonika, in 304 AD. He is the subject of Dulcitius, an eponymous 10th century drama written in Germany by the secular canoness, Hrotsvitha of Gandersheim, the first known woman playwright.JSTOR online: Studies in Philology, Vol 57, No. 4, Oct 1960, Douglas Cole, "Hrosvitha's most Comic Play: Dulcitius", op cit. The name is also associated with a mid fourth century AD Roman soldier who was appointed Dux Britanniarum (or troop commander in Roman Britain for the region around Hadrian's Wall) and praised for his military abilities by the soldier-historian Ammianus.Ammian The History, Book XXVII University of Chicago online text in translation.
In 1551, 41 years after her death, a book about her life and teaching was published, entitled Libro de la vita mirabile et dottrina santa de la Beata Caterinetta de Genoa ("Book of the marvellous life and holy teaching of the Blessed Catherine of Genoa"). This is the source of her "Dialogues on the Soul and the Body" and her "Treatise on Purgatory", which are often printed separately. Her authorship of these has been denied, and it used to be thought that another mystic, the Augustinian canoness regular Battistina Vernazza, a nun who lived in a monastery in Genoa from 1510 till her death in 1587, had edited the two works. This suggestion is now discredited by recent scholarship, which attributes a large part of both works to Catherine, even though they received their final literary form only after her death.
The eight sons and 12 daughters are: #Élisabeth Charlotte de Beauvau (1705–1754), married Charles Ferdinand François de La Baume, Marquis de Saint-Martin, no issue. #Anne Marguerite Gabrielle de Beauvau (1707–1790), married Jacques Henri of Lorraine, Prince de Mortagne(-sur-Gironde), no issue ; married Gaston Pierre Charles de Lévis, Duke de Mirepoix, no issue. #Gabrielle Françoise de Beauvau (1708–1758), married Gabriel Alexandre d'Alsace de Henin-Liétard, Prince de Chimay, no issue. #Marie Philippe Tècle de Beauvau (1709–1748), Canoness of Remiremont. #Nicolas Simon Jude de Beauvau (1710–1734), Abbé de Craon, never married. #Marie Françoise Catherine de Beauvau-Craon (1711–1787), married Louis François de Boufflers, Marquis d'Amestranges, no issue. #François Vincent Marc de Beauvau (1713–1742), Primat de Lorraine, never married. #Léopold Clément de Beauvau (1714–1723), knight of the Order of Malta.
The conflict flared up for the first time in 987, when Sophia, a daughter of late Emperor Otto II who had been raised in Gandersheim since 979, should become invested as a canoness. Aware of her royal origin, she refused to become invested by the local Bishop Osdag of Hildesheim and insisted on an ordination by the Mainz archbishop Willigis. Diocesan territories of Hildesheim (violet) and Mainz (yellow) before German mediatization The Mainz archbishop took the occasion to file a claim to the jurisdiction over the Gandersheim estates: the monastery had been founded in 852 at nearby Brunshausen, which belongs to the Diocese of Hildesheim, however, four years later the canonesses had moved to the present location in Gandersheim, thereby crossing the border with the Archdiocese of Mainz. The bishops of Hildesheim continued to exercise episcopal authority, though against the will of the Mainz archbishops.
He had eight children: #Prince Karl of Hesse-Kassel (30 September 1721 – 23 November 1722) #Princess Ulrike Friederike Wilhelmine of Hesse-Kassel (31 October 1722 – 28 February 1787); married in 1752 Frederick August I, Duke of Oldenburg. #Princess Christine Charlotte of Hesse-Kassel (11 February 1725 – 4 June 1782), from 17 April 1765 canoness of Herford Abbey, from 12 July 1766 coadjutor abbess of Herford. #Princess Maria of Hesse-Kassel (25 February 1726 – 14 March 1727) #Princess Wilhelmina of Hesse-Kassel (1726–1808); married in 1752 Prince Henry of Prussia, younger brother of Frederick the Great. #A stillborn child (born and died October 1729) #Princess Elisabetha Sophia Louisa of Hesse-Kassel (10 November 1730 – 4 February 1731) #Princess Caroline Wilhelmina Sophia of Hesse-Kassel (10 May 1732 – 22 May 1759 in Zerbst); married in 1753 Frederick Augustus, Prince of Anhalt-Zerbst, younger brother of Catherine the Great.
Among the insignia of her rank are an Episcopal miter and an Episcopal crozier, and she wore an Episcopal ring of office, which the ladies of the order were required to kiss. But there are no pledges of perpetual celibacy taken in connection with the order. Its members are at liberty to wed at any time they wish, this of course entailing their leaving the order, which was organized for the purpose of providing suitably for the ladies of the nobility who had become impoverished through no fault of their own. All that was required of them was the observance of certain rules, the wearing of a particular costume, and the performance of certain daily religious duties and ceremonies. Each of the members of the order bears the honorary title of “Canoness,’ and the Queen Mother of Spain held the office of Abbess until her marriage to King Alfonso, drawing a stipend as such of $30,000 a year.
For many centuries thereafter, clerics were cautioned to not allow these suddenly homeless, travelling actors to perform in their jurisdictions. From the 5th century, Western Europe was plunged into a period of general disorder that lasted (with a brief period of stability under the Carolingian Empire in the 9th century) until the 10th century A.D. As such, most organized theatrical activities disappeared in Western Europe. While it seems that small nomadic bands traveled around Europe throughout the period, performing wherever they could find an audience, there is no evidence that they produced anything but crude scenes .Brockett and Hildy (2003, 75) Hrosvitha (c.935-973), an aristocratic canoness and historian in northern Germany, wrote six plays modeled on Terence's comedies but using religious subjects in the 10th century A.D. Terence's comedies had long been used in monastery schools as examples of spoken Latin but are full of clever, alluring courtesans and ordinary human pursuits such as sex, love and marriage.
Liesl (left) with her older sister, Marianne Maria Elisabeth was appointed canoness of the Convent for Noble Ladies in Innsbruck by her mother, but like her sister Maria Anna, who had a similar position, she did not in fact live in the convent but continued to share her time with the Imperial Court at Hofburg and Schönbrunn. After the death of her mother empress Maria Theresa in 1780, Maria Elisabeth and her sisters Maria Anna and Maria Christina were asked by their brother emperor Joseph II, to leave court, because he shunned the presence of women there and wanted to put an end to what he referred to as his sister's Weiberwirtschaft or Women's Republic. He confirmed his mother's appointment of Maria Christina and her husband as governors of the Austrian Netherlands, after which they left for Brussels, while Maria Elisabeth and her sister Maria Anna left to join their respective convents. Maria Elisabeth left for the Convent of Noble Ladies in Innsbruck, which had been established by her mother in 1765 to pray for the soul of her late spouse, the father of Maria Elisabeth.
King Victor Amadeus II of Sardinia approached her family and proposed a union between Polyxena and Victor Amadeus II's son and heir, Charles Emmanuel, Prince of Piedmont. A previous match orchestrated by Agostino Steffani with a daughter of Rinaldo d'Este, Duke of Modena, had come to nothing.Timms. Colin: Polymath of the baroque: Agostino Steffani and his music, Oxford University Press US, 2003, p. 117 His first wife, Countess Palatine Anne Christine of Sulzbach, died on 12 March 1723, less than a year after her marriage and barely a week after giving birth to a son, Victor Amadeus, Duke of Aosta (7 March 1723 – 1 August 1725). Although only two years younger, Polyxena was a niece of Charles Emanuel's first wife, and belonged to the only Roman Catholic branch (since 1652) of the reigning House of Hesse. In fact, she had been nominally a canoness of Thorn since 1720. The engagement was announced on 2 July 1724,Storia politica, civile, militare della dinastia di Savoia dalle prime origini a Vittorio Emanuele II, Paravia, 1869, p. 266 and she wed Charles Emmanuel by proxy on 23 July in Rotenburg. The marriage was celebrated in person at Thonon in Chablais on 20 August 1724.Vitelleschi.
