1627 - Became abbess of a Franciscan monastery in Agreda, retaining this office, except for a brief period.
1643 - King Philip IV of Spain visited María, initiating a correspondence that was maintained until her death. Their letters dealt with spiritual and political matters and form a rich source for historians on Philip's reign.
1670 - Her best-known work is The Mystical City of God, a life of the Virgin Mary ostensibly based on divine revelations granted to María.
1665 - Died on May 24th in Agreda.
