 The differences in canonical standing and requirements between the two groups was to cause friction in the convent.Tensions were heightened when one of these black veiled outsiders, Sister Maria da Parma, was made the prioress of the convent on September 2, 1503.When Duke Ercole died on 24 January 1505, the new prioress quickly found Lucy to be guilty of some unrecorded transgression (most probably of her open and public support for the Savonarolan church reform), and placed her on a strict penance.
