Magnus IV of Sweden
The cult of Saint Ingrid benefited the convent and made it rich, and it was a successful rival to the male monastery of the same order in the city. In 1353, Magnus IV of Sweden donated Bjälbo to the convent. It was fashionable among wealthy people to be buried in the graveyard of the convent, and large donations were made to it in connection with the burials. Bridget of Sweden placed her daughter Cecilia Ulvsdotter in the convent in the 14th century.
