Gebhard of Hirschau, bishop of Speier, was his custodian, but spiritual consolations as well as bodily comforts were denied him; the Eucharist was withheld : * the Holy Child was bom for all sinners,' he pathetically writes in a letter to Hugh, abbot of Clugny, * but for me alone it seems as if he had not been bom.'
