Christian bishop St. Adalbert left Bohemia in 988 to lead an ascetic life as a monk after becoming disillusioned with the superficial attitude toward Christianity in the country. However, in 992 he returned under orders of the pope but found little change and soon faced conflict with the nobility. He left Bohemia again in 994 to become a missionary along the Baltic coast, where he was martyred in 997.
