Saint Ursula, the heroine of the Christian legend, widespread in the Middle Ages in Western European countries. According to legend, Ursula, the daughter of the British king, was famous for its beauty, wisdom and truthfulness. She wanted to avoid her hated marriage and at the same time protect her father from the threats of a powerful challenger to her hand.
Therefore, Ursula agreed to the marriage, but only after three years and provided that the groom accepts Christianity. Then Ursula went with her entourage to Rome. Ursula along the way joined the virgins who dedicated themselves, like herself, to Christ. Their number reached 11 thousand. In Rome Ursula was received by the Pope. He found out about the martyrdom that awaited her and her companions and wished to share it with the virgins. The pope told everyone about his decision and solemnly resigned his dignity, and then joined the pilgrims.
On the way back to Cologne pilgrims attacked the Huns. They hated Christianity, with indignation learned about the decision of the virgins to give a vow of celibacy and then the Huns of all destroyed. Ursula was the last to die, because she refused to become the wife of the leader of the Huns, captivated by her beauty.
