Elizabeth Rose was a Benedictine nun living in France during the 12th century. After serving at the abbey in Chelles, she established the convent of Sainte-Marie-du-Rozoy, located near Courtenay in the Loiret region. Following her leadership as the first abbess of this new community, she chose a life of extreme solitude. She spent her final years living as an anchoress within the hollow of an oak tree.
