Register or Login to view.The reason why I tend to refer to beguines is that, having grown up in Flanders, this is the female religious order I am most familiar with. My home town has a pretty beguinage which is part of UNESCO world Heritage. Around the VM's carbon dating, it was a town within the city, under protection of the Burgundian ruler.
Even though beguines sound incredibly boring now, there was something rebellious, courageous and free about them, this group of women just deciding to live together without taking the vows nuns would take (hence they were free to leave) and at times challenging the establishment with their independence.
Just to say, I'd find it really awesome if the VM turned out to have something to do with beguines or similar figures. I just don't think we have enough proof to say anything like this.
