Here you can see a series of pictures about the life of Saint Ursula. Ursula's story is a martyrdom. Martyrdom means that someone is tortured and killed for their faith.
Here you can see the first picture in the series.
The ambassadors of the English king have arrived at the court of Ursula’s father, the King of Brittany.
You kneel before him in clothes embroidered with silver and gold. You hand him a letter saying that the son of the English king wants to marry Princess Ursula. Four of Ursula's father's advisors are watching.
On the right you can see how it continues: Ursula's father brings the letter to his daughter and looks at her with concern. There is a problem: Ursula and her family are Christians, but the English king and his son are not Christians.
Ursula has already decided to get married, but she sets a few conditions that she lists on her fingers. An old woman sits in the front of the picture. She used to be Ursula's nanny. She looks worriedly into Ursula's future.
