In the mid-1200s in #Greece, Theodora of Arta was recognized as a #saint for putting up with a real jerk of a husband, who was the ruler of the #Byzantine successor state of Epiros at the time. He even drove her out of his house (for her to live by begging with their young son) for five years while he lived with his mistress instead. Eventually they made up, and she founded a convent (and retired to it).
