In 1290 she moved to Fontevrault Abbey in the Loire region of France, the parent abbey of the order, where she took her vows and became a nun. A richly illuminated gradual was presented to her upon her induction. In 1304 she became abbess.
Upon her death in 1342 she bequeathed the gradual to the abbey.
