 The abbey grew and Odo was succeeded by Philip of Harvengt, a significant theological writer.Oda, whose defence of her virginity has been described by Abbot Philip, was a Premonstratensian nun in a subordinate house at Rivreulle under the direction of the abbot of Bonne-Espérance.In the time of the forty-sixth and last abbot of Bonne-Espérance, Bonaventure Daublain, the abbey was twice occupied and pillaged by the French Revolutionary Army, in 1792 and again in 1794, when the community was dispersed.
