Description
(2)
He was a lazy man, far inferior in quality to his father, given over to filthy pleasures, lustful and dissolute, ignoring better pursuits and following evil ways. He thought he had achieved a wonderful success with the death of the prince of Antioch, whom he loathed with an insatiable hatred
vir supinus, a patria degener honestate, sordibus effluens, libidine dissolutus, spretis melioribus perniciosa sequens, putans sibi optime successisse, quod princeps Antiochenus, quem odio insaciabili persequebatur, occubuerat. William of Tyre bk. 17, 11.1-5
