Apollonia, Wife of Leonhard Seyle, in the Year 1539

In the year 1539, one sister Apollonia, wife of Leonhard Seyle, having been with him in the upper country, was arrested in the Earldom of Tyrol, and brought to Brixen; but, through the unchangeable grace and power of God, who valiantly aided her womanly heart, she continued steadfastly and firmly in the true faith, and in what she had promised God in Christian baptism, and would turn neither to the right nor to the left. So she was then sentenced to death, and drowned, thus receiving the martyrs' crown.
