Career
Swedish converts in Sweden, however, were generally women who had married foreign Catholics living in Sweden. Unlike Holm, these women generally escaped punishment. Holm originally came from Nyköping and then settled in Stockholm.
In 1755, in a consistory of court, which dealt with questions of court staff, it became known that Birgitta Holm had become a Catholic.
Holm specifically mentioned confession as a reason for her conversion. The court consistory met August 13, 1755.
They made a statement of the case, recommending to the monarch that von Enden and his spouse be exiled after Holm had refused to retract her conversion. lieutenant is not certain that Holm was exiled, in the absence of confirming documents.
Holm"s husband Von den Enden remained in Sweden and remained active at the court orchestra until his death in Ulriksdal, in 1769.
By then he was remarried. Facts that support the hypothesis that she was exiled include the fact that the congregation documents of the French Catholic legation do not mention about her after 1755. Eleonora Sibrand, another Swedish convert through marriage to a French Catholic immigrant worker the same year, remained in the documents of her Catholic congregation years after the consistory"s failed attempt to force her to recant.
Forsström, who emigrated voluntarily, was not formally exiled, though she may have left because of the law.
