St. Wilgefortis: Legend or Real-Life Bearded Lady?

Being Catholic and reading up on many of the Church's Saints, you find a few who stick out. One of these Saints is St. Wilgefortis. According to legend, she was one of the septuplet children of the King of Portugal. She was promised in marriage to the King of Sicily, but of course, she was a Christian and it violated her vow of chastity. So, one late night, she prayed and begged God to disfigure herself and make her unsightly in the King's eyes. God listened to her prayers and the next morning she awoke-to the shock of all-with a beard! Word reached the King of Sicily, and when Wilgefortis' father found out, he became furious. He condemned her to death and she was nailed to a cross and died a martyr's death. She is also known as St. Liberata in Italy & St. Uncumber in France. She was the Patroness of difficult marriages. She was officially removed from the Church Calender & her cult was supressed in 1969. So, technically, she is no longer a Saint of the Catholic Church, but you can't help but wonder....maybe this really happened.
