The Court may be said to have three Daughters; as Fulco boldly told Richard the first:1 which are vicious, & of a wicked disposition. The King answered, He had no Daughters at all. Fulco said, he cherished three in his Court that were no better then Strumpets; and therefore wished him timely to provide them Husbands, or else they would undo him, and his Realm. The angry King would have them named. Fulco told him, they were Pride, Avarice, and Luxury. The blushing, penitent, and discreet Prince confessed, and resolved to bestow them. So he gave Pride to the Templars, Avarice to the Cistercians Monks, & Luxury to the Popish Prelates: the like matches, as fitter then in England could not be found for them.
