  Woluwe-Saint-Lambert / Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe (Municipality, Region of Brussels-Capital, Belgium)   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Lambert's Vita is clearly modelled on an earlier similar text, Vita Sancti Eligii, St. Eloi's life; in the Merovingian times, plagiarism of popular sacred texts was the rule; the original material was supplemented with a few, often stereotypical details.
Later in the text, Lambert is portrayed as "extremely beautiful, strong and vivacious, very agile and brave at war; with a dispassionate mind and an elegant stature; firm in charity, chastity and humility, he devoted himself to study." This combination of the attributes of saintliness and aristocracy is therefore very coherent.
Most historians have supposed the Lambert, like Léger in Autun, was the victim of the repression exerted by Ebroïn; recent data seem to prove the opposite: accordingly, Lambert would have been sacked by Dagobert II and Wulfoald, who suspected him to be too close with Ebroïn.
