"The best English historian of Guilhem's time, the monk William of Malmesbury, called the Frenchman 'stupid and wanton' (fatuus et lubricus) and credits him with the foundation of an 'abbey of debauchery', perhaps resembling that of the notorious 'Beast' Aleister Crowley (d. 1947) in Sicily."--Love Locked Out
