Life
A worldly canon of Xanten thrown from his horse by lightning, who rose to give everything away and walk Europe barefoot preaching peace. At Prémontré he founded his white canons; as archbishop of Magdeburg he entered his city barefoot, and defended the Eucharist so ardently he is painted with a monstrance.
