"Toward the end [of his life] he also became lame in one foot. Even then he
trusted his own judgement more than the advice of his physicians, whom he
almost loathed, since they urged him to stop eating roast meat, which he
liked, and to start eating boiled meat [which he did not]."
Einhard, "The Life of Charlemagne," Chapter 22, as translated in Dutton,
Edward Paul ed., "Charlemagne's Courtier: The Complete Einhard;" Broadview
