History says that at the time of the Crusades, Princess Ismerie, the daughter of the sultan of Egypt, converted to Christianity and released three knights who had been captured by the Saracens. After their return to France the three knights constructed a church to the Virgin, cause of their liberation and their joy. Thus began the pilgrimage to the black Virgin of Leisse.
