Summary "A Royal Son and Mother" by Baroness Pauline von Hügel is a biography written in the early 20th century that chronicles the life of Prince Demetrius Gallitzin and his mother, Amalie von Schmettau. The book delves into the complex history of a noble family, particularly exploring themes of faith, sacrifice, and spiritual growth within the context of Catholicism. It highlights Amalie's significant role in her son's religious transformation and mission work, illustrating the profound influence of maternal love and support. The narrative traces Amalie's life from her noble birth in Germany to her marriage to Prince Gallitzin, her struggles within society, and her eventual embrace of a simpler, more devout life focused on education and spirituality. It emphasizes Demetrius's journey from a privileged upbringing to his commitment as a missionary in America, shedding light on the trials he faced and the impact his mother had on his vocation. The book not only recounts their personal stories but also reflects on the broader implications of their lives for the Catholic community, especially in the context of America's emerging religious landscape in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
