St Elizabeth of Hungary - 17th November

After her husband Louis was killed during the Crusades, Elizabeth was driven from the palace with her four children. She found shelter near a Franciscan Church and became a Franciscan. She died at the age of 24 in Margurg and was canonized by Pope Gregory IX in 1235. (Information about her life can be found under Resources and Downloads in the Franciscan Saints category.)
