action
Ignatius von Loyola , a descendant of a Basque noble family from the Kingdom of Navarre , saves a young woman from a mugger attack. As it turns out, the young woman is the Infanta Catalina. Both fall in love, but their love is doomed to failure. Ignatius made a career as a soldier and was promoted to captain.
When he and his troops were defending Pamplona against the French troops ( Italian wars ), he suffered a serious injury to his leg. While recovering, he is tormented by memories of the horror of war. On the sick bed he begins to study the life stories of Jesus Christ and the saints. Soon he decides to renounce his previous worldly life and turns to faith. In the Montserrat monastery he prays to the Virgin Mary and goes to Manresa . There he spends some time as a penitent in a cave.
He then begins a pilgrimage during which he visits several holy sites. On his voyage to the Holy Land , he demonstrated God's consolation to the owner of the ship during a storm.
After his pilgrimage, he began theological studies in Salamanca . There he is targeted by the Inquisition , but is acquitted.
In 1534 he and his fellow students Peter Faber , Franz Xaver , Simão Rodrigues de Azevedo , Diego Laínez , Alfonso Salmerón and Nicolás Bobadilla took a vow in the Chapel of St. Denis on Montmartre in Paris . After more men joined the community, a few years later it was named "Society of Jesus". Ignatius writes his " Exercitia spiritualia " for carrying out exercises . In the meantime the order is getting bigger and bigger and establishes schools, universities and hospitals.
After his death, Ignatius of Loyola is buried with great sympathy.
