Popular science says oxygen is poisonous, and the whole internet scolds me for being sick

As a lady from a noble family.

In fact, noble girls in the Middle Ages had to abide by many rules.

Because the Western world, in the last century.

Women are treated as complete human beings.

Not to mention the Middle Ages.

The lives of aristocratic girls are subject to strict religious, social and family political constraints.

Just like Audrey's future in marriage.

It is a product of family politics.

In society, aristocratic girls would generally get engaged around the age of 12 to 14.

This is when preparations for marriage negotiations begin.

Need to learn how to manage servants and socialize.

An entertainment commonly enjoyed by aristocratic girls, having afternoon tea with close friends in the aristocratic circle.

Play backgammon or something like that.

An absolute taboo, many things are not allowed.

You cannot be alone in a room with a male, including your own brother.

And strictly prohibit exposing the skin, even the ankles need to be covered.

If I wanted to read, even secular love literature required my father's permission.

But your bestie secretly brings you some books or something.

In fact, no one will know.

In addition to this, one needs to know poetry, various court etiquette and needlework.

However, the discipline will also be very strict.

If I laughed too loudly during dinner, my father would punish me by making me recite Psalms ten times.

When you are outside, you need to maintain your manners.

They usually wear Gothic robes and crowns, and their behavior is required to be very elegant.

Walking, sitting and lying down all require training.

The so-called aristocratic training does exist.

A noble girl of this period.

The value lies in the thickness of the dowry and the piety of the prayers - not in one's own will.

And like Audrey, who is able to travel far away.

There are very few.

There are only three situations in which you are allowed to go out.

The first is family affairs, such as attending weddings and inheriting territories.

Go somewhere for asylum or as a political hostage.

The last point is the pilgrimage.

A pilgrimage is a very good reason.

It is also the only reasonable and legal reason for a noble girl to travel far away.

That's what Audrey is like now.

However, this usually requires the company of a male relative from the same family.

For example, father, brother, uncle and so on.

However, in some noble families, they are usually escorted by knights in the family.

After all, everyone in the family has their own things to do.

I won’t take you on a pilgrimage or anything just for you.

Audrey was brought here by the family knight.

Now Audrey actually received a miracle in front of so many people.

How could this not attract attention?

But soon Audrey's family knights came to protect her.

Escort Audrey away from the crowd.

The town's clergy are also here to help.

After all, Audrey resonated with miracles.

Everyone saw the stigmata on Audrey's face just now.

Even after returning to the carriage, Audrey still couldn't calm down.

"What happened to me just now?" Audrey didn't understand what happened to her.

The maid whispered, "Miss, you looked so radiant just now."

"Just like the saint in the legend!"

Audrey also read the vernacular novels brought by her best friends.

Among these novels, there are some banned books.

It is written that some people gained insights during the pilgrimage.

Or when facing the holy land, you can listen to the whispers of God.

Became a saint directly.

Audrey's situation is similar.

Audrey had come here just for a trip.

It’s a pilgrimage, but it also allows me to have common topics with my girlfriends in the same circle after returning.

But this time Audrey unexpectedly became a saint?

No, it should be said that she became a saint by accident.

In the Middle Ages, there were actually many types of saints.

Because in the Middle Ages, women were not allowed to become clergy.

Not to mention the Middle Ages, even in the 21st century it is not allowed.

That's why Celia became the first female pope.

It will cause such a sensation in the world.

Women can usually only become nuns.

Nuns are not considered clergy by the Vatican.

But the saint is also a very important spiritual role model in the Christian faith.

Among them, saints can be divided into four types.

The first type is the ascetic, who practices extreme abstinence, self-flagellation, and long night vigils.

Want to exchange physical pain for spiritual purification.

That is the so-called ascetic.

This lineage is actually the origin of the current battle nuns.

The first of these was Saint Margaret.

According to church records, she was originally a Hungarian princess.

Because he refused to get married, he practiced self-torture in a Dominican monastery.

Thus becoming the first Battle Sister.

The second type is the philanthropist type of saint.

Generally, only people from the great noble families have such an opportunity.

Various hospitals and shelters will be established.

Serving marginalized groups in society.

They would provide porridge to the people and provide relief to the suffering people.

This was actually the great nobles seeking a title for their daughters.

In this way, when arranging a marriage, they can prove how noble their daughter's character is.

Generally speaking, the other family also attaches great importance to this.

The third type is the martyr type.

They were killed because of their beliefs, mostly for fighting against heretics or pagans.

Martyred for Christianity.

She will be canonized as a saint after her death.

The fourth type is Audrey's situation.

Related to mysticism.

However, such saints are often regarded as heretics due to various problems.

Because there is a chance that this is an unconventional revelation.

Often accompanied by visions, oracles, and/or direct communication with God.

It is also accompanied by supernatural phenomena such as the appearance of stigmata.

Audrey is the best example.

This is a saint who awakened naturally.

It is also the most natural.

Some scientists in later generations believed.

This is all about visions and oracles from God.

It is possible that this is after some women have fasted for many days.

Because of hunger, he had all kinds of hallucinations and felt that he heard God's oracles.

But Audrey's situation is definitely not an illusion or anything like that.

Because everyone present saw it.

Soon, the news spread throughout the town that night.

A noble woman heard God's oracle during her pilgrimage.

Thus she became a saint.

The news began to spread like wildfire.

As vicar general of this area.

Bishop Arnold naturally needs to meet a saint.

So that night, Audrey was invited to a dinner party in the small town.

Generally speaking, Audrey is not qualified for this.

If it was Audrey's father, there was a slight chance that he would be invited to participate.

But now Audrey was invited to the dinner because of her status as a saint. (End of this chapter)
