Zdislava of Lemberk was a 13th-century Czech noblewoman and Dominican tertiary recognized for her extensive philanthropy. Born in Křižanov around 1215, she lived a life characterized by deep devotion and service to the impoverished. Despite facing a difficult marriage to the nobleman Havel of Markvartice, she utilized her position at Lemberk Castle to provide refuge and aid to those displaced by invasions. She was later beatified in 1907 and canonized in 1995, becoming a significant figure in the Catholic tradition.
