Legends of the monastic orders : as represented in the fine artsForming the second series of Sacred and legendary art . the Grospel intoBohemia was St. Adelbert, an Anglo-Saxon Benedictine fromthe kingdom of Northumbria. He converted Ludmilla, thegrandmother of Wenceslaus, venerated through northern Ger-many and Denmark as St. Wenzel. Ludmilla carefully educatedthe young prince in her own faith. Meantime, his brotherBoleslaus had been brought up by his heathen mother Draho-mira in all the dark errors of paganism. The characters ofthe two princes corresponded with the tenets they respectivelyembraced. Wenceslaus was as mild, merciful, and just, asBoleslaus was fierce, cruel, perfidious. Bohemia was dividedby the two parties, the Christian and the heathen; and atlength Boleslaus and his wicked mother conspired to assas-sinate Ludmilla, as being the great protectress of the Christians, and the enemy of their native gods. The hired murderers foundher praying at the foot of the cross in her private oratory, andstrangled her with her own veil. Thus she became the firstmartyr-saint of Bohemia. ST. WENCESLA1 i. St. Ludmilla. (E. Max.) The turn of Wenceslaus came next: he had valiantly met hisenemies in the field, though not even the atrocities of Drahomiracould induce him to forget his duty to her as a son. Accordingto the legend, two angels from heaven visibly protected Wen-ceslaus in battle; but they forsook him, apparently, when, bythe arts of his mother, he was entrapped to pay her a visit, andslain by the hand of his brother at the foot of the altar and inthe act of prayer. Wenceslaus lived at the time when the passion for relics hadspread over all Christendom. On a visit which he paid to hisfriend Otho I., that warlike emperor bestowed on him certainrelics of St. Vitus and St. Sigismond. Thus in the Bohemianpictures we have St. Wenceslaus and St. Sigismond, all gloriousin their princely robes, their crowns and palms, and shining-armour ; St. Ludmilla, with her palm and
