This married couple was rare in the annals of saints. Their passionate love was renowned, yet this worldly love blossomed into sacred love. Both were born of royal lines, Elizabeth in 1207 and Ludwig (Louis) in 1200. Married life could have been rocky, as his mother and sister hated her. She lived with much mocking and insults. As their life progressed, she worried that her love for him was too intense; perhaps that kind of love should be reserved for God alone. She found natural love and love of God compatible, and plenty of love left to share with the poor.
