Blessed Beatrix II d'Este (†1262) belonged to a family of the Norman Dukes of Apulia and was herself the daughter of the Marquis of Ferrara; she was also a niece of the Blessed Beatrice d'Este, hence being named after her. She was betrothed to Galeazzo Manfredi of Vicenza but he succumbed due to his wounds after a battle, just before their wedding day. Beatrice refused to return home, but attended by some of her maidens, devoted herself to the service of God, following the Benedictine rule, at the convent of Sant'Antonio in Polesine, at San Lazzaro just outside of Ferrara. She was beatified in 1774 by Pope Clement XIV and her Feast Day is commemorated on 19 January.
