In addition, in 772, a party of Saxon bandits invaded the Saxon kingdom, looting and annihilating all kinds in their path. of hamlets, villages, monasteries, abbeys... with which, Charlemagne, decides to put an end to those Saxon games invading them. As we know that previously all attempts to Christianize the Saxon area had been unsuccessful, what Charlemagne intends (apart from avoiding all these looting) is finally, dominate and christianize
