    Notes 
    • [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!" "
      --- Richard Erdoes, *AD 1000: Undisclosed on the Brink of Apocalypse*, 1988
