          Abstract

          At the urging of Gracián, Teresa de Ávila (de Jesús) founded a convent in Seville, naming María de San José its prioress. In so doing, Teresa disobeyed the orders of the Carmelite General, Juan Bautista Rubeo, who had only given her permission to found in Castile. Enraged, Rubeo convened a chapter in Piacenza at which Teresa was ordered to remain in one convent in Castile and make no further foundations. Felipe [Filippo] Sega, the papal Nuncio, took the side of those who opposed the Discalced expansion into Andalusia. In the meantime, María had to cope with a disgruntled nun who denounced her to the Inquisition, and an overzealous confessor named Garciálvarez, who subjected nuns to excessive penitential practices.
