BLESSED EVERARD OF CLAIRVAUX
Blessed Everard (Everhardus), a general of the Templar Knights, fought as such valiantly against the Saracens, but afterwards entered the monastery at Clairvaux, submitted to the strict Rule, and prepared himself for his eternal reward by prayer, fasting, vigils, and much work. This he did until his godly end. (Buc.)
