November 17: Elizabeth of Hungary
A princess, the daughter of King Andrew of Hungary, great-aunt of St. Elizabeth of Portugal. At the age of 13 she married Prince Louis of Thuringa. Elizabeth was a lifelong friend of the poor and gave herself entirely to relieving the hungry. She ordered that one of her castles should be converted into a hospital in which she gathered many of the weak and feeble. She generously gave alms to all who were in need, not only in that place but in all the territories of her husband’s empire. She spent all her own revenue from her husband’s four principalities, and finally she sold her luxurious possessions and rich clothes for the sake of the poor.
