[Footnote 25: Gulielm. Appulus, l. ii. c 12, according to
the reference of Giannone, (Istoria Civile di Napoli, tom.
ii. p. 31,) which I cannot verify in the original. The
Apulian praises indeed his validas vires, probitas animi,
and vivida virtus; and declares that, had he lived, no poet
could have equalled his merits, (l. i. p. 258, l. ii. p.
259.) He was bewailed by the Normans, quippe qui tanti
consilii virum, (says Malaterra, l. i. c. 12, p. 552,) tam
armis strenuum, tam sibi munificum, affabilem, morigeratum,
ulterius se habere diffidebant.]
