Who they were
Hadewijch (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɦaːdəʋɪx]), (1200 – 1260) sometimes referred to as Hadewych or Hadewig (of Brabant or of Antwerp), was a 13th-century poet and mystic. Most of her extant writings are in a Brabantian form of Middle Dutch and she probably lived in the Duchy of Brabant. Her writings include visions, prose letters and poetry. Hadewijch was one of the most important direct influences on John of Ruysbroeck.
