And there she let make herself a nun, and wore white clothes and black, and (as) great penance she took upon her as ever did sinful woman in this land. And never creature could make her merry, but ever she lived in fasting, prayers and almsdeeds, that all manner of people marvelled how virtuously she was changed. Sir Thomas Mallory
