This study is about group migration to Rügen as a social, cultural, and political phenomenon in the second half of the 12th century. Migration refers to the mobility of people in a broader sense, that is their settlement in a new territory and the colonization of small distinct groups. Based on the information from the narrative sources, the political context in which the migration took place was analyzed. Records of migration in general, and colonization in particular, have been highlighted and discussed in connection to the Danish conquest. The categories of migrants and colonists, the length of stay, the settlement diversity and the causes of migration were identified.

This paper examines the connection of memories to emotions as they were transmitted by chroniclers through narratives. Emotional memories played a significant role in the recollection of some brutal events connected to ecclesiastical policies in eastern Saxony and across the Elbe, where the socalled Wends lived. The paper focuses on the interactions of cognition and emotion. It shows that emotional memories were not only rhetorical devices, but also didactic tools in the process of creation of Wendish idolatry as a Christian construct of a socioreligious identity. Certain negative events from the past placed within theological frameworks were intended to provoke hostile emotional responses towards the Wends. Preserving memory on ecclesiastical matters, with faith and obedience as central elements of identification, was an ethical mission of all those in charge of writing history, usually clergymen.
