Younger Brother: Problems do not occur singly. For example, Georgie, eight years old and the younger of two brothers, was a persistent feeding problem. His mother continually tried to force him to eat when his desire for food was low. As a result, eating became an emotional situation. He was retarded in speech and reading, and appeared to enjoy the power over adults that he gained from his failure to talk and read like other children. He may also have sensed his older brother's hostility and have been afraid to succeed in school, lest he increase his brother's hostility toward him. He was restless and nervous. He was disobedient.

After stamping out an uprising of vassals led by his uncle Robert, archbishop of Rouen and count of Evreux, he re-established his brother-in-law Baldwin IV as count of Flanders in 1030, and a year later, upon making an alliance with Henry I of France, received the French part of the district of Vexin.
