De Sanctimoniali de Wattun ( The Nun of Watton) was written by the Cistercian abbot, Aelred of Rievaulx (1110–1167), between the 1150s and 1160s. The text tells of a miracle that happened to a nun in a Gilbertine house in Watton, Yorkshire, who became pregnant by a lay brother. While the text reveals the scandal that occurred in the female religious community, it also transforms this incident into a hagiographic-type miracle account, using the themes of a nun enduring abusive tortures and a miraculous childbirth.
