According to legend, Mariken was the beloved of the devil, who promised in return to teach her the arts. It was only thanks to the intervention of the Virgin Mary that Mariken managed to escape. She then spent the rest of her life in the monastery to atone for her sins. Many stories have been written about it, poets have composed poems, and in 1974 the story even inspired the creation of a film.
