What's 'eum' doing in this sentence?

[pmda]

In Pensa of LLPSI (II) Orberg has:

Romulus rex belli studiosus erat, neque eum pudebat casae suae pauperis.

...and he was not ashamed of his poor house.

Why 'eum' (acc.)? What it doing in this sentence? ...

"pudet" is an impersonal verb: "pudet X-em" = "it makes X ashamed" = "X is ashamed".
