He was a energetic supporter of the Cluniac reforms and helped to spread them to Marchiennes Abbey, Ghent and Lobbes among other places.[4] He participated in the second crusade with Louis VII of France and according to some sources, he fell ill at Philippopolis, Thrace and died September 6, 1148.[5]
