Chieftain Tas having a rest by unknown artist

"In those days Saxony was overwhelmed by a most frightful persecution, as from one direction the Danes and Slavs, from the other the Bohemians and Hungarians wrought havoc with the churches. At that time the diocese of Hamburg was laid waste by an attack of the Slavs, and that of Bremen by an attack of the Hungarians. In the meantime the confessor of God, Hoger, died and was buried by the side of his predecessor in the Church of Saint Michael in the year of our Lord nine hundred and fifteen.

The Hungarians, indeed, were burning churches, butchering priests before the altars, and with impunity were slaying clerics and layman indiscriminately or leading them into captivity. At that time, too, crosses were mutilated and derided by the Pagans. Signs of this frenzy have endured even to our age."
