Origin from 1484
Conception of Our Lady is an order of nuns founded in Portugal in 1484. The order initially followed the rule of the Cistercians before later adopting the rule of St. Clare, aligning it with the Poor Clares. Surviving English-language sourcing for this order is thin, drawn from a brief early twentieth-century encyclopedia entry, so its later history is not documented here.
