Note 190 — BOOK IV.
William Robson translation
The English historian Brompton expresses himself thus whilst relating the misfortunes that Robert afterwards experienced:—Sic reddidit Dominus vicem pro vice duci Roberto, quia cum gloriosum in actibus Jerosolimitantis eum Dominus redderet, regnum Jerosolimitantum sibi oblatum renuit, magis eligens quieti et desidiæ in Normania deservire quam regi regum in sanctâ civitate militare. Damnavit igitur eum Deus desidiâ perenni et carcere sempiterno.—See the Historiæ Anglicæ Scriptores, tom. i. p. 1002.
