This children's poem tells the story of QUEEN ELIZABETH, the daughter of the King and Queen of Hungary. At four years old she was sent by ship to Thuringia where she grew up in the Wartburg Castle under the strict guidance of her mother-in-law to be. The Royals were annoyed that Elizabeth was so devout and that her heart was joyous no matter how difficult they made her life. She was overly generous and loved to give away small treasures from the castle. In the end, it was actually the Poor who won this ten year battle. For Elizabeth vowed never to forget them. At fourteen she married Louis IV, the Landgrave of Thuringia. Elizabeth's story shows how a young girl dealt with foreign rulers and the constant ugliness of her guardian. But Elizabeth was always gentle and kind, and her greatest joy in life was to serve those in need. She went on to have four children and she built two hospitals and an orphanage to serve the people under her care. The story is deeply moving and shows how a gentle young girl rose above the difficulties of childhood and became a Queen loved by all.
