After a vision of the Virgin, who asked her to found an order in honor of her Immaculate Conception, she fled to Toledo, where she lived in a monastery for 30 years without being a nun.
It was Isabel La Católica, daughter of the Portuguese queen of the same name, who promoted the creation of the new order. In 1484, the Castilian queen gave some houses in Toledo to the new community.
It was Pope Innocent VIII who, at the request of Saint Beatrice and the Servant of God Isabel of Castile, approved the new order in 1489.
