Hazeka (recluse) dating history

Details

Hazeka (also Haseka, d. 1261) was a saint and a recluse in what is today North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. She was attached to a church in Schermbeck, enclosed in a cell near the city's Cistercian monastery, for 36 years, living off alms supplied by the monastery and cared for by her minstra (servant) Bertha, a devout woman from one of the Rhenish provinces. Hazeka wore a Cistercian habit and lived under the Cistercian rule. According to Hazeka's hagiographer Hermann Greven, who wrote her biography based upon a 9th-century text by the Benedictine monk Usuard between 1450 and 1479, she lived a pious life and had an "inclination against human company". Historian Francesca M. Steele, who wrote biographies of Hazeka and other female recluses during the Middle Ages in Europe, stated that "Hazeka here passed her life in much simplicity and great patience, spending her days in prayer and work, most likely embroidery for the monastery".
