Notes "William IV of Aquitaine, Strong-Arm ('Fierebras', interestingly enoughone of the sobriquets of the legendary William of Orange), did not sharehis father's [William Towhead] temperate ways. His over-indulgence in thechase and in women gave offence to his spirited wife Emma, the sister ofthe king, Hugh Capet. The upshot was two lengthy separations andultimately his own taking refuge from the sins of the world in thereligious life, leaving his young son in Emma's care." |
