To some he appears as a verbose dilettante totally unable to put two ideas logically together, while others look up to him as a teacher of the profoundest truths. I cannot say that either view is wrong.
The translation however was made in the twelfth century, and it is coloured by the revival of national feeling which was characteristic of the time. The earlier Norman traditions are preserved by Dudo of St. Quentin, a verbose and confused writer, whose work was abridged and continued by William of Jumièges, a contemporary of the Conqueror.

The other had natural parts and acquired knowledge; spoke with confidence; and in dispute was vain, sarcastic, petulant, and verbose.
The unnatural color still burnt like a flame in her cheeks; the unnatural light still glittered in her eyes.
