Product Description
This is our wonderfully crafted Saint William of Aquitaine Plaque. Saint William X of Aquitaine (1099-1137), the Duke of Aquitaine, fought in the Crusades. During the papal schism of 1130, William was convinced by St. Bernard of Clairvaux in 1134 to drop his support for the anti-Pope Anacletus II in favor of Pope Innocent II. In 1137 William took part in the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, but died of food poisoning en route. This plaque is an ideal gift for a birthday, confirmation gift, and Christmas (a great stocking stuffer).
