Elizabeth was a Spanish princess who married the King of Portugal, King Denis, this made her the Queen of Portugal. Elizabeth was beautiful and she was always generous, kind and loving. For a long time her husband did lots of bad things and didn’t love his wife, Queen Elizabeth, very well. Even though he treated her poorly, Queen Elizabeth never stopped loving her husband and praying that he would get to know God and be sorry for his sins. She spent her time taking care of her kids and helping the poor of Portugal. Because of her prayer and love King Denis slowly started to change his ways. He asked Queen Elizabeth to forgive him for all the bad things he had done to her and he asked God to forgive him. He lived the rest of his life doing good. Because of her goodness Queen Elizabeth was able to bring peace to Portugal and even stopped two wars from starting. When King Denis died, she sold off her riches and she joined the Franciscan order; opening a monastery for the Poor Clares (an order of sisters who live with the poor and cared for them). After Queen Elizabeth died, many people asked for her prayers and God performed many miracles because of peoples’ faith.
