Beatrice d'Este (died 1226)
- Beatrice d'Este (died 1226)
Blessed Beatrice d'Este ( _oc. Biatritz" or "Beatritz d'Est; 1192 – 10 May 1226) was the daughter of Azzo VI of the Este family by his second wife, Sophia Eleanor, daughter of Humbert III, Count of Savoy. She was the aunt of Saint Beatrix d'Este.[ [http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/02375a.htm Catholic Encyclopedia, article "Beatrix"] ] ]An account of her life was written, in both Latin and the vernacular, by a Brother Alberto of the church of the Holy Spirit (S. Spirito). About her youth he writes:She became the object of the courtly love of Rambertino Buvalelli, a Bolognese troubadour who traveled widely in northern Italy. In nine of his "cansos" Rambertino celebrates the beauty and character of Beatrice, whom he frequently referred to as "senhal" (a "sign", as in a byname) "Mon Restaur" ("My Refreshment" in Occitan). The large age difference between Rambertino and the young Beatrice probably amused the Estense court, though there was no known actual relationship between the two, their interaction being purely poetic, lyric, and musical.
Beatrice became a Benedictine nun at Solarola near Padua at the age of 14, and later founded a religious house at an abandoned monastery at Gemmola in 1221.[ She died there in 1226 and was removed to Padua for burial in Santa Sofia. From there she was transferred in 1256 to the Este mausoleum of Santa Tecla. Her cultus was approved in 1763.]ources
