Lettice Mary Tredway 1595 October 1677 , courtesy title Lady Tredway, was an English abbess . Life In July, 1616, Lady Tredway entered the novitiate of the Canonesses Regular of the Lateran of Notre Dame de Beaulieu at Sin, near Douai where she was probably educated , and in October 1617, made her solemn profession. In 1631 she and Miles Pinkney , better known as Father Carre, a priest of the English College at Douai , conceived the project of opening a house for canonesses for English subjects only at Douai. The idea was approved by the Catholic authorities at home and abroad, and in 1634 it was decided to open this English convent at Paris. Father Richard Smith , Bishop of Chalcedon , then in exile in Paris, helped them generously and may be counted a co founder. He blessed Lady Tredway as abbess, and the Convent of Notre Dame de Sion was permanently established in the Rue des Fosses in 1639. Father Carre and Lady Tredway were also practically the founders of the Seminary of St. Gregory for training priests for the English mission. A pension for English ladies and a school were attached to the new convent, of which Lady Tredway held the office of abbess till 1675, when illness compelled her to resign. After her death the superiors held the title of prioress. Family She was the daughter of Sir Walter Tredway, of Buckley Park , Northamptonshire her mother was Elizabeth Weyman.

History Premonstratensian priory About 1217 the canonesses of Ahnaberg Priory near Kassel were permitted to establish a daughter house on the Eppenberg, on the shoulder of the Heiligenberg. This foundation was confirmed on 3 March 1219 by Siegfried II, Archbishop of Mainz , who took it under his protection. The total number of canonesses in Ahnaberg was set at 40, and the remainder moved to a newly established daughter house at Eppenberg. The relationship of the new priory to its motherhouse was clearly not without friction. In 1223 the provost religion Roman Catholic Church provost and community of Ahnaberg re stated their rights in Eppenberg. On 17 February 1224 Archbishop Siegfried once more confirmed the rights of Ahnaberg Priory. But in 1250, for reasons now unknown, the prioress of Eppenberg openly rejected the rights of Ahnaberg, and Eppenberg became an independent house, now, like Ahnaberg, under the supervision and protection of Spieskappel Abbey . The newly independent priory rapidly flourished, mostly because of gifts and acquisitions of land in the nearby villages of Altenbrunslar, B ddiger, Besse and Gensungen. In 1269 Eppenberg was able to undertake the foundation of a daughter house at Homberg an der Efze Stiftskirche St. Georg .

The buildings were struck by lightning and burnt down in 1317, but quickly repaired. During the Protestant Reformation Reformation the abbey was dissolved and its assets taken over by the Crown. In 1531 the powerful and wealthy Inger, Lady of Austraat Ingerd Ottesdatter R mer , otherwise Ingrid til Austr tt , a leader of the Norwegian aristocracy, had herself elected administrator of the abbey, and was thus able to protect the abbess and canonesses the abbey s estates also became hers, and continued in the possession of her descendants.
