« Lord Yves was a very humble and good man. I watched that in all his habits, I mean his way of talking, cheering, walking, praying, acting with everyone, most of all with the poor: he showed always a great humility. He wore an humble and cheap vesture too (…) and during his twelve last years, he used high shoes with laces, similar to the Cistercians’ ones.
