Solveig Rafnsdóttir (1470–1561 or 1563), was the last abbess of the Reynistaðarklaustur, an Abbey of the Order of Saint Benedict on Iceland. Solveig Rafnsdóttir was the daughter of the elderman of Iceland, Hrafn Brandsson, and Margrét Eyjólfsdóttir and the sister of the priest ocBrand Hrafnsson. She became a member of the Order of Saint Benedict in the abbey of Reynistaðarklaustur, one of only two convents on Iceland open to females, in 1493, and became its abbess in 1508. She was the manager of significant lands on Iceland through her position. During the Protestant reformation, the estates of the convent was confiscated and the convent itself was closed and banned from accepting any new novices. Solveig Rafnsdóttir lost her authority, but she as well as the other nuns was allowed to remain in the former convent for life. She died in 1561 or 1563. == References == *„„Reynistaðarklaustur“.
