  Rimbert: Life of Anskar, Apostle of the North
Anskar, who was born in 801, was trained in the monastery of Corbey near Amiens and had been transferred with other monks to the monastery of New Corbey near Hoxter on the River Weser, which was founded in 822.
Anskar, who was greatly distressed that this had occurred within his own diocese, went at once to the chiefs who were responsible and, after an impassioned appeal, persuaded them to release all their captives.
Anskar then undertook the mission committed to him by the emperor, who desired that he should go to the Swedes and discover whether this people was prepared to accept the faith as their messengers had declared.

A lovelier sight was seldom seen than when Anskar knelt upon the tawny dunes, Cardista leaning upon her elbows in the surf before him, the music of the stormlord's panpipes mingling with the clear blue voice of the sea.
The subtle caresses and surreptitious gestures shared by Cardista and her feral interloper went unnoticed by the short-sighted Anskar; it was not until he discovered the two, carnally entwined in a secluded glade upon the beach, that he realized the profundity of his plight.
So great was Anskar's fury, some say, that the earth itself was sundered in his wake, and lands once teeming with life were forever lost beneath the unforgiving waves.
