Spanish term
Fue nombrada protectora de la ciudad de Burdeos
Spanish to English

Religion
Hello, fellows. I'm translating a documentary about Jeanne de Lestonnac, religious personality from the XVI Century. The path I'm having doubts about says: "Fue nombrada protectora de la ciudad de Burdeos". Which is the proper word for "protectora"?
I'll really appreciate if you can help me. I'm not a very familiar with religious terminology in any language.
TIA

@ James: Like Phil said I can´t find any references to Jeanne de Lestonnac as "protector". However, I found some references to "Saint" and "Blessed".

I will keep researching and let you know the result (by adding it to the glossary, I guess.). Thank you all. You've been of great help.
Today, February 2, we celebrate the feast day of **Saint Joan de Lestonnac (1556-1640), patron saint of abuse victims, individuals rejected by religious orders, and widows.*** Saint Joan is remembered for her steadfast desire to serve the Lord, despite frail health and rejection. She eventually founded a religious community dedicated to Our Blessed Mother, the Order of the Sisters of the Company of Mary Our Lady, dedicated to “education in the faith and the promotion of justice.”
