Of England. In 1080, he quitted his country and sought the protection of his imcles, Robert, count of Flanders, Udo, archbishop of Treves, and several other princes of the houses of Lorraine, Germany, Aquitain, and Gascony. He made his complaints to them, mingling falsehood with truth, and received great assistance from them. But he squandered their gifts among actors, para- sites, and courtezans. He was so prodigal that he soon became straitened again, and was obliged to have recourse to usure...rs. "Every one, " says the chronicler Orderic Vital, "knew Duke llobert for an indolent, weak prince. So the ill-intentioned, despising him, took advantage of his character to excite trouble and factions. The duke was bold, valiant, worthy of praise in many respects, and naturally eloqiient ; but he was inconsi- derate, prodigal in his bounty, free of promises, light and im- prudent in his falsehoods, allowing himself to be easily prevailed upon by prayers ; mild in character and slow to punish crime ; changeable in his decisions, too familiar in his conversation, and by that means drawing upon himself the contempt of the ill-disposed.
