 Boso   (Site not responding. Last check: )
He was a Benedictine monk of St. Emmeram in Ratisbon whence he was summoned to the court of Otto I. The emperor, considering the conversion of the lately subjugated Wends indispensable to the security of the German Empire, sent Boso to Christianize them.
In the beginning Boso's mission appeared useless, owing to the hate of the Wends for the Germans who had deprived them of their liberty.
Boso, however being a true apostle, did not despair, but studied the language of the Wends in order to preach to them in their own tongue.
