"He was quite handsome.... Sometimes he would clip his beard; sometimes he
would shave it. While his barbers were at work on him, it was not unusual for him
to read or write.... His eyes were clear and radiant.... His complexion was
between dark and fair. Though only five feet, six inches in height . . his
shortness was not too noticeable because of the good proportions of his figure." -SEUTONIUS
