Discover the powerful and dramatic life of St. Albert of Louvain (St. Albert of Louen), a 12th-century bishop and martyr whose courage, humility, and unwavering defense of the Church cost him his life. Born in 1166 into the noble House of Brabant, St. Albert’s path moved from early clerical training to knighthood and back again, marked by deep devotion and a strong commitment to justice.

This video recounts the political turmoil surrounding the Diocese of Liège, the disputed episcopal elections, and the conflict with Emperor Henry VI that ultimately led to St. Albert’s assassination in 1192. His story is a testimony to heroic virtue, sacrifice, and the struggles of the medieval Church against political interference.

You’ll also learn about the fascinating history of his relics — mistakenly transferred, re-identified centuries later, and ultimately restored to their rightful place.
