Editing Marburg (section)

=== St. Elizabeth of Hungary ===
In 1228, the widowed princess-landgravine of Thuringia, [[Elizabeth of Hungary]], chose Marburg as her dowager seat, as she did not get along well with her brother-in-law, the new landgrave. The countess dedicated her life to the sick and would become after her early death in 1231, aged 24, one of the most prominent female saints of the era. She was canonized in 1235.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Hermann |first1=Bauer |title=Sankt Elisabeth und die Elisabethkirche zu Marburg |date=1990 |publisher=Hitzeroth |location=Marburg |isbn=3-89616-031-1}}</ref>
