Beguine of Ghent. Excerpt from a manuscript of the beguinage of Sint-Aubertus, Ghent, c. 1840.[1]Print of a Beguine in Des dodes dantz of Matthäus Brandis, Lübeck 1489.
The Beguines (/beɪˈɡiːnz,ˈbɛɡiːnz/) and the Beghards (/ˈbɛɡərdz,bəˈɡɑːrdz/) were Christian lay religious orders that were active in Western Europe, particularly in the Low Countries, in the 13th–16th centuries. Their members lived in semi-monastic communities but did not take formal religious vows; although they promised not to marry "as long as they lived as Beguines", to quote an early Rule of Life, they were free to leave at any time. Beguines were part of a larger spiritual revival movement of the 13th century that stressed imitation of Jesus' life through voluntary poverty, care of the poor and sick, and religious devotion.
