Biography

Brianda de Acuña Vela was born in the town of Valverde, about a Шаблон:Convert from Logroño, on August 17, 1576. She was the daughter of Шаблон:Ill and María Vela de Acuña, Шаблон:Ill. She lived in Aranda de Duero and Castrillo, travelling between the two on horseback. When her father was named Viceroy of Navarre, Brianda stayed behind and lived with the Countess of Miranda, with whom she was related.

Her religious faith grew, until, at the age of 26, Acuña entered the Convent of Santa Teresa in Valladolid, a cloistered convent for Discalced Carmelite nuns, where she took the name of "Teresa de Jesús". The access ceremony, celebrated on January 10, 1602, was attended by the king and queen, Philip III of Spain and Margaret of Austria, Queen of Spain. The admission took place on April 2, 1603. In the convent, she was mistress of novices and also prioress. She distinguished herself for following a penitent life.

Acuña wrote her own autobiography, some of whose chapters were published in a book about her written by Miguel Batista de Lanuza in the year 1657, entitled Шаблон:Lang, printed in Zaragoza by Jusepe Lanaga y Lamarca. Its pages include an account of her time in the convent:

In that same book, De Lanuza also makes a physical description of Acuña:

Pedro de Villafranca engraved Acuña's portrait on a sheet. She died on 22 March 1630.
