Petrus de Dacia is famous for his correspondence with and his 15 visits to Christina von Stommeln, a Beguine, the first woman to have reportedly received stigmata (source: Codex Iuliacensis, ca. 1320–1350). Christina lived around Stommeln near Cologne; Stommeln was part of the County of Jülich of the Holy Roman Empire, where her relics are venerated.
