	Birgitta
		Birgitta Birgersdotter was born to an aristocratic family related to the kings of Sweden and influential at court.
		For the most part, Birgitta failed in her mission: her order was approved in 1370, but not according to the Rule she had written; the papacy did not return to Rome during her lifetime; there was no noticeable improvement in the habits of the leaders to whom she wrote.
		Birgitta was convinced that its reform must be begun with the reformation of the lives of the pope, cardinals, and clergy.
