One year later, she became abbess of the Monastery of the Holy Cross and remained so until her death in 1308. Upon her death, her sisters performed an autopsy and found an image of the crucifix within the fibers and tissue of her heart.

One year later, she became abbess of the Monastery of the Holy Cross and remained so until her death in 1308. Upon her death, her sisters performed an autopsy and found an image of the crucifix within the fibers and tissue of her heart.
