Through the patronage of Queen Margaret I of Denmark, Ingeborg Gerhardsdotter, also known as Ingeborg of Holstein (b. c. 1397), received a dispensation from the Pope allowing her to enter Vadstena Abbey (Sweden) at the age of eleven. She was most likely elected abbess in 1447/48, but was forced to resign after pressure from the Swedish regent Karl Knutsson (Bonde) in 1452. After her nephew, King Christian I of Denmark, came to power in 1457, she was reinstalled as abbess, remaining so until her death in 1465. She wrote the text known as “Fourteen Pieces of Advice for a Godly Life”—a collection of devotional texts, focusing on the king’s devotions, with suggested readings and instructions for how to prepare for confession.

摘要

Through the patronage of Queen Margaret I of Denmark, Ingeborg Gerhardsdotter, also known as Ingeborg of Holstein (b. c. 1397), received a dispensation from the Pope allowing her to enter Vadstena Abbey (Sweden) at the age of eleven. She was most likely elected abbess in 1447/48, but was forced to resign after pressure from the Swedish regent Karl Knutsson (Bonde) in 1452. After her nephew, King Christian I of Denmark, came to power in 1457, she was reinstalled as abbess, remaining so until her death in 1465. She wrote the text known as “Fourteen Pieces of Advice for a Godly Life”—a collection of devotional texts, focusing on the king’s devotions, with suggested readings and instructions for how to prepare for confession.
