About This Book

En biografisk framställning som återger en medeltida kvinnas bakgrund, familje- och samhällsförhållanden samt andliga kallelse. Texten skildrar uppväxt i en adlig gårdsmiljö, vardagslivets praktiska villkor och den samtida kyrkliga och politiska kontexten. Författaren behandlar hennes uppenbarelser och religiösa erfarenheter, pilgrimsvandringar och kontakter med kyrkans ledning, liksom hur fromhet förenades med politiskt intresse och praktisk handlingskraft. Verket väver personliga detaljer med kulturhistoriska reflektioner och ger en helhetsbild av både den enskilda andliga personligheten och de institutionella miljöer som formade hennes verksamhet.
