Pope Boniface IX canonizes Bridget of Sweden in 1391, formalizing her as a saint of the Catholic Church. Bridget was a visionary mystic and founder of the Bridgettine Order, known for her revelations and political influence in medieval Europe. Her canonization boosts her devotional following and spreads her religious texts, which blend visionary poetry with theological and political commentary.

Bridget's revelations, composed in Swedish and Latin, are a major work of mystical literature, influencing later devotional poetry and the development of female voice in religious writing. Her visionary style and focus on Christ's passion inspire poets like Margery Kempe and the anonymous author of 'The Pearl'. Her canonization ensures the circulation of her writings, which become models for contemplative and allegorical verse across Northern Europe.
