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