In 1110, Robert married Judith, the youngest daughter of Roger I of Sicily but, in 1135, he was "a man in the flower of his youth". Strange...77.128.169.104 (talk) 15:57, 7 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

According to Isidore of Seville, iuventus (youth) was the third age of life, following adolescence and lasting until 50. Thus, "flower of his youth" is probably a literal translation and corresponds to a modern term like "prime age". Srnec (talk) 00:02, 8 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
