Saint Hedwig of Andechs, also known as Hedwig of Silesia, was born in 1174 at Castle Andechs in Bavaria, which is now part of modern-day Germany. She was the daughter of Berthold IV, Duke of Merania. As a young girl, Hedwig married Prince Henry I the Bearded of Silesia and Poland in 1186, at the tender age of 12.
