Narrative

[SUSANNA KEENE.FTW]

"Not all founders [of monasteries] were known for their
kindness. Fulk
of Anjou, plunderer, murderer, robber, and swearer of false
oaths, a truly
terrifying character of fiendish cruelty, founded not one but
two large
abbeys. This Fulk was filled with unbridled passion, a temper
directed to
extremes. Whenever he had the slightest difference with a
neighbor he
rushed upon his lands, ravaging, pillaging, raping, and
killing; nothing
could stop him, least of all the commandments of God. This
appalling man
had countless crimes upon his conscience, but when seized with
a fit of
remorse he abandoned himself to incredible penances. Thus the
very tomb of
St. Martin, whose monks he had ill-treated, saw him prostrate,
with bare
feet and in penitent's dress; and four times during his life he
went to
Jerusalem as a devout pilgrim, treading half-naked the
sorrowful road of the
passion while two of his servants flogged him until the blood
flowed,
crying, "Lord, receive thy perjured Fulk!" "
--- Richard Erdoes, *AD 1000: Living on the Brink of
Apocalypse*, 1988
(reprint 1995) p 12
