page xxxiv note 7 This may perhaps be inferred from St. Bernard's contrast between those accusers whose poverty prevented them from following Gerard out of the country and Arnulf who spared neither purse nor body (H.F., xv, 603)Google Scholar:

‘Restat proinde nihil aliud suspicandum, quam fugisse hominem subdolum [sc. Gerardum] accusantium multitudinem, qui extra patriam eum minime prae inopia sequi possent. Gratias agimus domino Lexoviensi, qui zelo domus Domini tactus, nec marsupio pepercit, nec corpori’.

Gams, Series episcoporum, gives 1157 for the date of Froger's appointment, possibly following the Annales Uticenses (Ordericus, v, 162), although the cui successit is quite ambiguous.

page xxxvii note 2 In 1173 Arnulf says that the litigation had lasted thirty years, in other words, the whole of his episcopate (below, p. 144). Arnulf is found in conflict with the abbey c. 1159 over financial matters and the expulsion of a monk (epp. nos. 18 and 19). Certainly the abbot Robert II de Blangis, sometime monk of Bec, was excommunicated and suspended c. 1165 by Arnulf, and although he was almost brought to his knees by papal legates (below, p. 146; and ep. no. 70), he remained contumacious, and defied the efforts of three sets of judges-delegate. Giles de la Perche seems to have had this office soon after his election to Evreux in 1170 (ep. no. 69), and the third commission, composed of the deans of Bayeux and Evreux and the bishop of Avranches, did nothing owing to the sloth of the two deans (ep. no. 88), so that Arnulf was forced to apply to the pope for a fourth delegacy. By 1173 the case had become complicated by charges against the abbot of inobedience and perjury, and the disputed possession of a hermitage also added fuel to the fire (below, pp. 145–6).
