EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Thierry of Alsace, Flemish Crusader and Builder of Gravelines (? - 1168) Thierry of Alsace, a nobleman from Lorraine, is depicted in this evocative image as a valiant Crusader, emboldened by his unwavering faith and commitment to the Holy Land. Born as the son of Duke Thierry II of Lorraine, Thierry's life was marked by a deep sense of duty and a fervent belief in the power of the Cross. Thierry embarked on an extraordinary journey, making a total of four pilgrimages to the Holy Land. His most remarkable achievement, however, was his successful quest to bring back a relic of immense significance - the Blood of Jesus. This precious relic, believed to be a vial containing the very blood of Christ, was a source of great spiritual and political power in the Middle Ages. Thierry's possession of this relic further solidified his reputation as a pious and influential figure. Upon his return from the Crusades, Thierry channeled his newfound prestige into the construction of Gravelines, a magnificent fortress and abbey complex located in present-day northern France. This architectural marvel served as a symbol of Thierry's piety and his commitment to the Church. The abbey became an essential pilgrimage site, attracting countless devotees who sought to pay homage to the revered relic. Thierry's legacy extended far beyond his own time, as Gravelines continued to be a significant religious and cultural center for centuries to come. This image of Thierry, resplendent in his Crusader's garb, serves as a testament to his indomitable spirit and the profound impact he had on the history of Europe.
