Perhaps no members of European royalty rejected wealth and embraced poverty so utterly as Elizabeth and Margaret, Hungarian princesses and members of a ruling family that produced ten saints. Filmed amidst the spectacular vistas of Hungary’s medieval past, this program traces the lives of Elizabeth, queen of Thuringia, and her niece, Margaret, comparing and contrasting their asceticism and devotion to the church. Highlights include the well-known portrait of Margaret in the Dominican habit and a tour of the ruins of Margaret’s convent on what has since been called Margaret Island.
