Valdemar As A Monk
In 1218 Valdemar fled the Prince-Archbishopric towards his nephew Duke Albert I of the younger Duchy of Saxony. Later Valdemar entered the monastery of Loccum. In 1220 the anathema against him was lifted. In the same year or only in 1232 Valdemar moved into the monastery of Cîteaux, where he died in 1235 or 1236. He was buried on 28 April 1236 in the Loccum Abbey.

Famous quotes containing the word monk:
“The monk in hiding himself from the world becomes not less than himself, not less of a person, but more of a person, more truly and perfectly himself: for his personality and individuality are perfected in their true order, the spiritual, interior order, of union with God, the principle of all perfection.”
—Thomas Merton (1915–1968)
