# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born on 8 September 801, Ansgar rose to become Archbishop of Hamburg-Bremen in the northern reaches of the Kingdom of the East Franks. His see was given the missionary mandate to convert Northern Europe — a directive he took literally, traveling deep into territory where the old gods still held. Those journeys, pushing the faith into lands that had never heard it, locked his reputation. He died on 3 February 865, having spent his life trying to turn the pagan North Christian.
