Elizabeth of Hungary was a 13th-century princess of Hungary and landgravine of Thuringia. Born around 1207, she married Louis IV, the Landgrave of Thuringia, when she was fourteen. Following her husband's death in 1227, she dedicated her life to serving the impoverished and ill, utilizing her dowry to establish a hospital in Marburg. A member of the Third Order of Saint Francis, she became a prominent symbol of Christian compassion. She died in Marburg in 1231 at the age of twenty-four and was canonized in 1235.
