Princess Adelina is a rousing tale of bravery and faithfulness in 8th century Thuringia, Germany, where a young girl named Adelina is chosen by the young pagan ruler Hedan to be his bride.
Unfortunately, although Hedan’s father was a Christian his mother Geila is not, and Adelina has to face down the evil woman intent upon driving Christianity out of Thuringia.
But soon Hedan’s love cools and unreasonable jealousy takes its place, and he restores his mother to her old place as queen, and leaving her in charge of Adelina as he goes to war,
Geila takes advantage of the opportunity to make Adelina’s life miserable through threats and taunts and all kinds of persecutions, to her and her Christian servants, even threatening Adelina with sacrifice.
Princess Adelina is a story that taught me the importance of standing up for your faith, and taught me the value of the motto on my family coat of arms: Fortis in Arduis. (Brave in Difficulty)
