history in 1277, when two sisters of the Clarisse order came from Brescia to support the new foundation. The religious house was situated in a west neighborhood, outside the city walls and close to an ancient hospital and a little church called Saint Mary of Charity. Just like the Franciscan friars
did about fifty years before in the same place, also the Clarisse took care of
poor, pilgrims and sick people assisted in the near hospital. During the last two decades of the XIIIth century and during all the first part of the following one, number of nuns and their estate grew together with the support of local confraternities and families from the neighborhood.Mostly based on npublished documents, the study analyzes the medieval history of this unknown Clarisse nunnery
until its crisis in the XV century, giving reports also in an addendum about religious members, supporters and properties.

One important body of sources is found in matriculation lists, which, even if difficult to analyze, are essential for a better understanding of the development of confraternities as well as for the study of population. These lists throw light on the still not well-studied role of women in confraternities, the subject of the present article. Gilles Gérard Meersseman and Cinzio Violante debated the importance of women in confraternities in 1960. More recent research has shown that women were enrolled in confraternities in Umbria and in Bergamo. But the register of women members of the confraternity of Misericordia Maggiore in Bergamo provides an opportunity to study a substantial number of women participants in confraternity life over a period from 1265 to 1339, when sources of this kind are rare. The Misericordia Maggiore was founded in Bergamo in 1265 under the auspices of the bishop, by the Dominican Pinamonte da Brembate, who composed its rule. From its beginning, it admitted women on the same basis as men. Men and women participated equally in all the activities of the confraternity both spiritual and temporal. But, at some point in the fourteenth century, there seems to have been a change in policy forbidding visitation by women of those imprisoned. Men were required to undergo a one-year period of probation, but this was not the case for women. While there is ample evidence that women played a significant role in both religious and welfare activities—witness such a figure as St. Elizabeth—this source provides an unparalleled opportunity for study of their social position as well as their influence. The Misericordia was by no means alone among confraternities in Bergamo at this time, but it was the largest. Its size—there were more than seventeen hundred women members—was a reflection of its role in civic affairs. It was born out of the strife between the popolo and the milites. These factions, led by important families, the Rivola and Bonghi (popolo) and the Suardi and Colleoni (milites), dominated the political and religious life of the city in the second half of the century. Each furnished a bishop in the late thirteenth century. The pars populi dominated municipal government and,
