An interesting incident is reported of this robber baron by an eyewitness Eadmer , biographer of Anselm Of Canterbury . While Saint Anselm was progressing through Eudes's territory on his way to Rome in 1097 , the bandit, expecting great treasure in the archbishop's retinue, prepared to ambush and loot it. Coming upon the prelate's train, the duke asked for the archbishop, who they had not found. Anselm promptly came forward and took the duke by surprise, saying "My lord duke, suffer me to embrace thee." The flabbergasted duke immediately suffered the bishop to embrace him and offered himself as Anselm's humble servant. He was a participant in the ill-fated Crusade Of 1101 . REFERENCES
