After her mother's death in 1582, her French grandfather asked for Charlotte Flandrina to stay with him.
Against the will of her paternal family, she was raised to become a Catholic nun by her maternal aunt Jeanne de Bourbon, abbess of Jouarre de Ste. Croix in Poitiers, and became a nun in 1595, succeeding her aunt as abbess in 1605.[2]
She spent her life in the convent, tending to religion and religious charity. She maintained a correspondence with her stepmother and her sisters, and while she sometimes attempted to convert them, their relationship was a good one, and her sisters Elisabeth Flandrika and Charlotte Brabantina sometimes visited her.
