Dove classified the winds as permanent, periodical, and variable.
This delayed the marriage for a year, and as the months passed Conrad became associated with loose companions, and his love for Hildegarde weakened. Meantime news came that Heinrich had performed marvellous deeds in the Holy Land, and the tidings inflamed Conrads zeal. He, too, determined to join the Crusades, and was soon on the way to Palestine.
