A religious abbess of the convent of St. Claire, whence she
was driven in 1535, together with the other members of the
community, to seek refuge at Annecy, where she later became
abbess. She has pictured for us in all its crudity the
conflict of popular passions in the most primitive style, and
in language, which is in itself an index to the comedy, the
tragedy, and the overwhelmingly gross superstition of her day
and generation.
