Florentina and her brothers

By Philip D Wetjen

It's the year 627 CE. In the midst of the Dark Ages. Yet during this time of the supposed absence of literary and scientific advancement, three brothers and a sister produce a prodigious number of written works, both secular and ecclesiastic, that have a profound impact on the centuries to come. The 7th century was a time of great consequence on the Iberian Peninsula. Generally acknowledged by scholars as the time when Spain as a nation was first born, one family emerged as a driving force in shaping events. Events that include not only the new vision of Spain as a nation, but also a legal code that first gives voice to the concept of the rights of women.

The story of Florentina and her brothers, all destined for sainthood, comes to us across more than fourteen hundred years, providing lessons in perseverance, perspective and the value of incremental change.

A century of consequence - with four siblings appearing like a signature authorizing the entry into a new age.
