[large-G675.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!" "
