text_original: Charles of Blois, a true mediaeval saint, was made up of opposing qualities. He treated his foes with cold blooded cruelty, but he heard Mass four or five times a day, wore pebbles in his shoes and knotted ropes round his body, and once indeed when he had cap  tured a town and his soldiers were needlessly slaying the inhabitants, he first returned thanks in the Cathedral and then stopped the massacre.
