Maria de Taye
Maria de Taye was the 25th abbess of Forest Abbey at Vorst in the Duchy of Brabant from 29 January 1609 until her death.
She was originally from Gooik. During her time as abbess she overstretched the abbey's finances by purchasing a refugium in Brussels. She also commissioned paintings from Hieronymus van Orley to adorn the abbey church, and commissioned an atlas of the abbey's property from the surveyor Filips de Dijn.
