The '''East Gothic faith''' (East Gothic: ''Ostgotisches tro''), also known as '''East Gothic paganism''' (Burgoignesc: ''Paganisme des Ostrogoths''), is the most common name for the religion of the East Gothic peoples prior to their forced conversion to Catholicism by the Order of the Obsidian Sparrow during the Northern Crusades between 1458 and 1474. Practice of the religion was banned following the crusader conquest and largely died out, with only scant secret practice still taking place. A renewed interest emerged in the nineteenth century with the advent of Yonderian national romanticism which also attracted the interest of political figures and was used by a range of right-wing and nationalist groups. Academic research into the subject began in the early nineteenth century, initially influenced by the pervasive romanticist sentiment. | The '''East Gothic faith''' (East Gothic: ''Ostgotisches tro''), also known as '''East Gothic paganism''' (Burgoignesc: ''Paganisme des Ostrogoths''), is the most common name for the religion of the East Gothic peoples prior to their forced conversion to Catholicism by the Order of the Obsidian Sparrow during the Northern Crusades between 1458 and 1474.
