HENRY OF BONN, BL.
Rhineland noble; b. c. 1100; d. Lisbon, 1147. Henry set out from Cologne on April 27, 1147, for the Second crusade. He was among those who en route responded to the plea of Alphonso I of Portugal to help free Lisbon from the Saracens. Henry fell during the siege of Lisbon. After his burial near St. Vincent's church, miracles were reported at his grave, leading to his veneration as a martyr.
Feast: Oct. 18 or 25.
