Agnes was the daughter of Joscelin II of Courtenay, count of Edessa, and sister of Joscelin III.
Agnes is also credited with preventing William of Tyre from becoming patriarch in 1157, and a slight on moral character as hinted to in the Chronicle of Ernoul, a continuation of William; "car telle n'est que roine doie iest di si haute cite comme de Jherusalem".
Agnes advanced the compromise that would place her grandson Baldwin V above Sibylla in the order of succession, but she probably was not happy with the provision that Raymond III of Tripoli would act as regent for Baldwin V. Agnes died at her estates in Acre, sometime in 1184.

 Hrosvitha
The famous nun of Gandersheim has occasionally been confounded by her namesake, a learned abbess of the same convent, who must have died at least a half century earlier.
The younger Hrosvitha was born in all probability about the year 935; and, if the statement be correct that she sang the praises of the three Ottos, she must have lived to near the close of the century.
In form the dramas of "the strong voice of Gandersheim," as Hrosvitha (possibly alluding to a sypposed etymology of her name) calls herself, are by no means Terentian.

Agnes war zwar von dem Seelenwunsch getragen sich ganz in das geistliche Leben zurückzuziehen, denoch schließe ich mich der Meinung von Tilmann-Struve an, daß sie erst knapp drei Jahre nach Kaiserswerth die Reise nach Rom und somit ihren Rückzug aus dem weltlichen Lebnen antrat.

 Literary Encyclopedia: von Gandersheim, Roswitha
Even though Roswitha resided within the walls of Gandersheim for nearly her entire life, she never made perpetual vows but rather lived her life as a “canon”, which allowed her contact with the outside world not permitted by other religious groups.
Roswitha’s later legends, Basilius, Dionysius and Agnes, are of lesser interest, although young Agnes represents the feminine ideal that Roswitha proposes as a model for the novices.
Threatened by forceful prostitution if she does not comply with the desires of a pagan, the young saint is saved at the last minute by her blind faith in divine intervention.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Hroswitha
In all probability she was of aristocratic birth; her name appears on an old wood engraving as "Helena von Rossow." She seems to have been still in her earliest youth when she entered the convent of Gandersheim, then highly famed for its asceticism and learned pursuits.
Her extraordinary talents found here wise and judicious cultivation, first under guidance of her teacher Rikkardis, then under the special care and direction of Gerberg, a niece of Otto I and the most accomplished woman of her time, who was later to become her abbess (959-1001).
Her prolific career as a poetess closed with two greater epics, the one singing the achievements of Otto I (Taten Ottos I) down to the year 962, and the other celebrating the foundation of the monastery of Gandersheim (Die Gründung des Klosters Gandersheim).
