Order of Elizabeth

The Imperial Austrian Order of Elizabeth (''German: Kaiserlich österreichischer Elizabeth-Orden''), founded in 1898 by Francis Joseph, Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary was an order created for women. The Order was the namesake of Saint Elisabeth of Hungary, but was created to honor and memorialize Franz Joseph's recently slain wife, Empress-Queen Elisabeth.
The order, which only existed until the end of the monarchy in 1918, was divided into three classes: The Grand Cross, first and second classes. There was also an Elizabeth Medal for civil merit.
==Significance of Saint Elizabeth==
Saint Elisabeth (1207–1231) was a Hungarian princess, the daughter of King Andrew II of Hungary. Married at age thirteen to Louis IV, Landgrave of Thuringia (ca. 1220), she spent her life giving alms to the poor and sick. After her husband's death, she gave away the vast majority of his estate to build hospitals and to aid in the relief of her starving subjects. After dying of natural causes in 1231, she was canonized by Pope Gregory IX, in 1235. She is considered the patron saint of bakers, beggars, and charities. Given her status as Hungarian royalty, her patronage of charities, and the fact that the Holy Relics attributed to her resided in Vienna, Saint Elizabeth made for a perfect choice for the award's name.
