Kreuzzug im Osten

The 1147 Crusade against the Wends marks a turning point in the history of the Crusades—yet few know about it. Saxon princes set out to convert the Slavs, all under the banner of the Second Crusade and personally sanctioned by Bernard of Clairvaux and Pope Eugene III. How is this possible? And why is this underappreciated crusade, so important, so often described as "death or baptism"? #Slavs #crusades #medieval The thumbnail photo was kindly provided by @KaptorgaVisualHistory!
