I suspect his once sharp mind has become dulled by dementia or Alzheimer's disease.

    He was only ever sharp when he steered in his channel. When he smashed through the locks and started sailing his ship across the fields and bogs that's when he rapidly became a dullard.

    This is a very common thing to happen to smart people.
