Bien sûr, c'est anachronique de dire que les béguines étaient des féministes. C'étaient avant tout des femmes qui voulaient vivre loin du monde et des hommes, ce qui leur a attiré énormément de critiques et, finalement, leur interdiction.

Beguinage in Bruges, Belgium.
The Beguines were Christian laywomen who lived in religious communities outside the control of men or church hierarchies.

ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY-FIVE (185!!!) PEOPLE CAME TO HEAR US SING CHANT.
Absolutely buzzing. 185 people now know about beguines and their devotional music.
There is nothing better than making music in community.

Tonight is the night: early modern beguine chant in Uppsala! Also there are some delightful performance elements indicated in the manuscript that the schola will be exploring.
(As an aside, very tempted to write that RenSoc abstract now…)

The Low Countries Beguines had a particular interest in St. Alexis, as he was known for choosing a life of chastity 'in the world' - just like them! The Mechelen Beguines dedicated their church to him, and those at Bruges had a confraternity.
The Image of Saint Alexis or Alexius
Attributed to Georges de La Tour, 1593 - 1652
Alexius lived in a cubbyhole under a stairs from where he taught catechism. After death, a note was found on his body explaining his identity to his family who had failed to recognise him.

In 1654-55 a visitation was conducted at the Grand Beguinage of Mechelen. Dozens of Beguines were interviewed. The biggest complaint: too many (boarding and day school) children at the Beguinage! They made noise and filled up the church so that some Beguines couldn't attend services.
