Saint Agnes of Bohemia, also known as Agnes of Prague, was born into royalty, the daughter of King Ottokar I of Bohemia and Queen Constance of Hungary. She was a prominent figure in the medieval period, known for her choice of a life of charity over the opulence of royal marriage. Agnes rejected several high-profile marriage proposals, including from Emperor Frederick II, to dedicate her life to God. She founded the Hospital of St. Francis in Prague and a monastery for the Poor Clares, becoming its abbess. Her life was a testament to humility, charity, and devotion, leading to her canonization centuries after her death in 1282. | '''Saint Agnes of Bohemia''', also known as '''Agnes of Prague''', was born into royalty, the daughter of King Ottokar I of Bohemia and Queen Constance of Hungary. | ||
