Joan of Leeds or Johannas de Ledes (fl. early 14th century) was an English nun, who, bored with her monastic and enclosed life, at some point in 1318 escaped from St Clement's by York priory to journey to Beverley, where she was accused of living with a man. To escape, she feigned mortal illness and constructed a dummy of herself, which her colleagues buried in holy ground. When the Archbishop of York, William Melton, heard of this, he wrote to the religious authorities in Beverley expounding upon Joan's faults and instructing that she be returned forthwith to St Clement's. It is not recorded whether she ever did return, and all that is known of her life and career come from three letters found in Melton's archepiscopal cartulary.

  • Joan de Leeds o Johannas de Ledes (principios del siglo XIV) fue una monja inglesa que, aburrida de su vida monástica y de clausura, en algún momento de 1318 escapó del priorato de San Clemente de York para viajar a Beverley, donde fue acusada de vivir con un hombre. Para escapar, fingió una enfermedad mortal y construyó un muñeco de sí misma, que sus colegas enterraron en tierra sagrada. Cuando el arzobispo de York, Guillermo de Melton, se enteró de esto, escribió a las autoridades religiosas de Beverley explicando las faltas de Juana e instruyendo que la devolvieran inmediatamente a San Clemente. No se registra si alguna vez regresó, y todo lo que se sabe de su vida y carrera proviene de tres cartas que se encuentran en el cartulario arzobispal de Melton. (es)
