Saint Ursula 
I. The Story of St. Ursula. II. The Dream of St. Ursula

Saint Ursula by John Ruskin is about a beautiful young princess and the daughter of King Maurus. Young Ursula must marry a heathen King or risk the fate of the English people. Excerpt: ‚There was once a just and most Christian King of Britain, called Maurus. To him and his wife Daria was born a little girl, the fairest creature that this earth ever saw. She came into the world wrapped in a hairy mantle, and all men wondered greatly what this might mean. Then the King gathered together his wise men to inquire of them. But they could not make known the thing to him, for only God in Heaven knew how the rough robe signified that she should follow holiness and purity all her days, and the wisdom of St. John the Baptist. And because of the mantle, they called her Ursula, ‚Little Bear.“
