time to See also:religion and to See also:works of charity
.
She was married at the age of fourteen, and acquired such See also:influence over her See also:husband that he adopted her point of view and zealously assisted her in all her charitable endeavours
.
According to the See also:legend, much celebrated in See also:German See also:art, Louis at first desired to curtail her excessive charities, and forbade her unbounded gifts'to the poor
.
One See also:day, returning from See also:hunting, he met his wife descending from the Wartburg with a heavy bundle filled with See also:bread'
.
He sternly bade her open it; she did so, and he saw nothing but a See also:mass of red See also:roses

The See also:miracle completed his See also:conversion

On the See also:death of Louis " the See also:Saint " in 1227, See also:Elizabeth was deprived of the regency by his See also:brother, Henry See also:Raspe IV

(d

1247), on the pretext that she was wasting the estates by her See also:alms; and with her three See also:infant See also:children she was driven from her See also:home without being allowed to carry with her even the barest necessaries of See also:life
.
She lived for some time in See also:great hardship, but ultimately her maternal See also:uncle, Egbert, See also:bishop of See also:Bamberg, offered her an See also:asylum in a See also:house adjoining his See also:palace
.
Through the intercession of some of the See also:principal barons, the regency was again offered her, and her son See also:Hermann was declared See also:heir to the landgraviate; but renouncing all See also:power, and making use of her See also:wealth only for charitable purposes, she preferred to live in seclusion at See also:Marburg under the direction of her See also:confessor, the bigoted persecutor See also:Conrad of Marburg
.
There she spent the See also:remainder of her days in penances of unusual severity, and in ministrations to the sick, especially those afflicted with the most loathsome diseases

order to follow Him naked, in the steps of poverty
.
A literal inter= pretation of this passage is not impossible; for ecstatic mystics of all ages have .indulged in a like !cevecacs, and Conrad, who revelled in inflicting religious tortures, was quite capable of imposing this crowning humiliation upon his See also:gentle victim
.
It is far more probable, however, that the passage is not to be taken literally
