PREFACE.
The documents dealt with in this calendar were, for
the most part, transcribed for the old Record Commission
more than sixty years ago. On the dissolution of that
Commission its labours terminated abruptly aiad no
steps were taken to utilise these transcripts, of which
a great aumber had then been executed at no incon-
siderable cost. A list of the volumes into which
they had been bound, according to the places from
which they had been obtained, was printed in 1885 as
an Appendix to the Syllabus, in English, of Rymer's
" Pcedera "; but no attempt has hitherto been made to
render their contents available to the public. In dealing
with so vast a mass of material, some principle had to be
adopted ; and it was decided that priority of treatment
ought to be awarded to those documents which are
anterior to the date at which our English series of
enrolments begin, namely, the close of the twelfth
century. And, as the bulk of these early documents is
found among the transcripts from Normandy, the year
1206 was selected as one which would amply cover the
loss of that province, terminating the period of a century
and a half during which it was connected with England.
No document, therefore, is included which appears to be
certainly later in date than 1206.^
Although it is desirable, as a general rule, to print
in extenso all documents older than the thirteenth
century, the adoption in this instance of a calendar
^ A solitary exception has been made in the case of "No. 70, as relating
to an interesting incident of earlier date.

in English will, it is hoped, prove sufl&cient for all
practical purposes, as the transcripts in fuU can, ia
most cases, be consulted at the Public Record Office.
The lists of witnesses, however, are given in Latin
throughout, as, it wiU be generally admitted, is abso-
lutely essential.
Valuable, and in some cases unique, as is the material
acquired by the Commission, the necessity of making
it the basis of the work has caused some difficulty. It
is a far easier task to approach documents de novo, and
to deal with them on a uniform system, than to utilise
the transcripts made by several different individuals
whose systems of arrangement varied widely, and whose
principles in selecting documents were not wholly
identical. The transcripts, for instance, from Lower
Normandy are arranged under religious houses, while
those from the upper portion of the province are classified
according to the status of the parties from whom they
proceed. Others, again, are found in miscellaneous
parcels, with no arrangement at all. It has here been
decided to group the documents under the names of those
religious houses to which they severally relate. Except in
the Archives Nationales of France, the documents at this
early date are almost all connected with some religious
house ; the few which are not are here placed among
" Miscellaneous " groups. Within the above groups the
arrangement is roughly chronological, but where charters of
different dates are very closely related, as in Nos. 998-1003,
they have been placed together for the convenience
of the student. This has involved the re-arrangement
of all the documents transcribed, a task of much
difficulty and trouble; but it will be easy to identify
the transcript calendared, as its number in the MS.
volume is given in the marginal note.
PEEFACE. ix
With regard to the text, it should be clearly under-
stood that the documents which are here calendared are
transcripts. A systematic collation, in foreign archives,
of the text would have been equivalent to a new under-
taking; and all that was originally contemplated was
the utilisation of the transcripts executed for the Record
Commission. But, although originally intended for
publication as received, the transcripts have not been so
treated. Their text has been carefully revised by the
editor, who received instructions that in those cases
where the text appeared to him suspicious, it should,
where possible, be verified abroad. He has, for his
own satisfaction, gone considerably further, and collated,
as wUl be seen by the notes, a large number of the
transcripts with the sources whence they were derived.
But the difficulties in the way of such a collation have
proved threefold. In the first place, many of the docu-
ments transcribed are, as will be shown below, no longer
forthcoming ; secondly, to those series of charters which
have not yet been examined and catalogued, by the
authorities in Erance, access is difficult to obtain,
and in some cases impossible, as in the archives of
the Seine Inf^rieure, where the editor was informed
that S4rie H. was not available for collation ; thirdly,
the indications given by those who executed the tran-
scripts are insufficient for identification, charters being
only described (because then uncatalogued) as existing
in certain archives, while the folio, in the case of
a cartulary, is generally omitted. It was necessary,
therefore, to identify the documents before undertaking
their collation ; and this was rendered extremely laborious
in the case of separate documents, by the system of
the Iwcentaires Sommwires, while, in that of cartularies,
an entire volume had to be examined to discover the
folios from which the text of the charters, often but
X PEEFACB.
few in number, had been transcribed. As the result,
howeyer, of this labour, the editor bas been enabled to
append the present official reference for documents
inventoried up to date, together with precise indications
for those derived from cartularies.
Advantage was taken of the opportunity presented by
this work of revision to traverse again the ground from
which the transcripts were derived, ia order to ascertain
whether any documents had been omitted. The result was
a large addition to the number previously transcribed, as
will be made evident by those marginal references which
contain no mention of a transcript. For instance, of
the forty-five charters relating to the abbey of Bee and
its priories (Nos. 357-401), twenty-nine have been added
by the editor, including the original grant of Little
Ogboume manor, which corrects the received history
(No. 374). From the cartulary, at Evreux, of St. Taurin's
abbey, only three charters were extracted: the editor
has added three others, one of which corrects the
narrative of the Lacys' foundation in Ireland of Fore
abbey ,^ while another contains welcome evidence on
the Norman settlement of Gower. It would be possible
to give many similar examples. In addition to this
fresh search among the Norman archives, the editor
volunteered, on his own responsibility, to explore certain
archives outside Normandy, in order to include in this
calendar such documents of value as they might contain.
For this purpose he visited Le Mans, Angers, Bordeaux,
and other places, and was thus enabled to supplement
tne labours of the Record Commission, and to calendar
documents of great interest for English history in the
twelfth century.

PREFACE. XI
He may, perhaps, be permitted to state that the
actual results are no indication of the amount of labour
incurred. The examination of cartularies yielded, in
some cases, but one or two charters; in others, none
at all. But, as the Bishop of Oxford has forcibly
observed, in his lecture on "The Present Status and
Prospects of Historical Study " : —
" There are fields of work in History as well as Natural Science
in which experiment is to be treated as result In
historical study I should place among the lawful researches and
results the investigation of foreign libraries the
calendaring and cataloguing of manuscripts, — all sorts, in fact,
of investigation on which it was d priori reasonabty probable
that discoveries would be made ; . . . . even if in that sense,
of result, there were no result but the discovery that there was
nothing to discover." ^
Such, in the opinion of the recognised head of the
English historical school, is the research now needed.
It may here be desirable to state the principle of
selection adopted. Broadly speaking, the object of this
calendar is to render practically useful to the student
a great mass of miscellaneous material, illustrating
English history, political and institutional, topography,
genealogy, and chronology. Keeping in view this object,
the editor has exercised his discretion as to documents
suitable for insertion, except in the case of the old
transcripts, which he has felt bound to utUise. Some
of them, especially among those executed by M. D'Anisy,
have for an English student a scarcely appreciable
interest ; and, in the case of lengthy charters, much of
the material is here omitted (the omission being duly
indicated) as of absolutely no value for the object
described above. On the other hand, documents which,
at first sight, appear to have no connexion with England,
have often an indirect but important bearing on its

history. Some instances in point will be found below,
but it is, of course, impossible to give, in all such cases,
the reasons for inclusion.
All charters of English kings and of their immediate
relatives have been systematically included. The impor-
tance of such evidence has only lately been realised^;
but it is not too much to say that the history of our
Norman kings cannot be placed on a sure documentary
and chronological basis until their charters have at least
been calendared, and, so far as possible, dated. The
many chronological difficulties of this still obscure period
have led the editor to include another class of docu-
ments, namely, those which afford proof that certain
persons, at a certain date, were present at a certain
place.
The original transcribers were directed, it would seem,
not to deal with any documents already printed in the
Monasticon Anglicanmn, and this principle has been
here adhered to, although the Monasticon text is at
times deplorably corrupt. Indeed, in such a case as
No. 736, the inclusion of a more correct version needs
no apology. Pocuments, also, known to hare been
printed in any publication of the E-ecord Commission
are here passed oyer. But, in both these classes, a
reference is given to the place where the text has been
printed; and if, on collation, the MS. was found to
contain additional witnesses, these have been duly given.
In the case of cartularies published abroad by societies
or private individuals, the documents printed in them
have been included without hesitation. For it has
been found by practical experience that they remain
virtually unknown to students in this country. It is not

Historical Review, VIII. 726).

only dif&cult to ascertain what lias been printed, and
where, but it is also impossible to discover, untU
every page has been examined, whether a cartulary,
even when knowb, contains documents comprised
within the purview of this calendar. It is believed
that the results of such examination, as comprised
in these pages, will prove of the greatest service.
Before proceeding to further details, something must
be said of the foreign sources from which these
documents are derived. Por, in some respects, the
Prench system is very different from our own. The
most salient of these differences is the existence of a
record oflB.ce (" Archives Departementales ") attached to
the 'Prefecture of each Department. The records of the
local religious houses are almost all here preserved;
and a uniform system of classification exists in every
Department. The documents relating to the secular
clergy are placed in " ^Me G " and those of the
regulars in " 84,rie H " : they are preserved in numbered
liasses, each of which packets may contain several
documents. It is to these numbered liasses that the
marginal notes, in this calendar, refer. For the
"Archives" of each Department there is an Inventaire
Sommaire compiled by the Archiviste in charge (or
by successive Archivistes), in which each "sirie" is
dealt with separately. Except in the smaller collections,
such as those at Evreux and Le Mans, " S^rie H," which
is the most important for the purpose of this calendar,
has either not been dealt with, or only recently attacked.
It may illustrate the difl&culty, even for French
scholars themselves, of ascertaining what evidence these
collections contain, if the editor mentions that he was
enabled to communicate to M. Paul Meyer, Director
of the famous Scole des Chartes, for his great work on
XIV PEEPACE.
" Guillaume le Marechal," the existence of No. 229,
of "whicli he was unaware. Thus these transcripts
contain information which at present is not elsewhere
to be found, even in France.
To those familiar with the calendars of our own
national records, the French Inventaires Sommaires wiU
appear strangely disappointing. An index does not form
part of the scheme, nor are the documents arranged
in alphabetical or chronological order. The labour,
therefore, of discovering the liasse in which a particular
document is contained is often, the editor has found,
very great. At Rouen, for instance, " SMe Gr "
contains thousands of Masses, many of which contain
documents ranging over several centuries. A system
of classification has, it is true, been adopted, but the
risk invariably attending any such system in practice
is shown by the fact that the striking charter of John,
as count of Mortain (No. 180), which the Archives
possess in duplicate, is found in two different classes,
one copy (G. 4037) appearing under " Biens alUn4s"
and the other (Gr. 4485) under " JBulles et Chartes."
So too, the charters (Nos. 39, 40) of the duke and
duchess of Britanny, although they have absolutely
the same witnesses, are found in widely separated
classes, the former (Gr. 3569) under " Fondations
Piemes," the latter (G. 4488) under " Bulles et
Chartes.'^ The searcher, therefore, caimot rely on such
classification as a guide.
The Archives Nationales need not be discussed, as
few of the documents here calendared are derived
from that source; but something must be said of the
public libraries, which contain a large proportion of
them. A few of the local cartularies are found in
the Archives B^partementales, but the bulk of them
\0

are preserved in libraries, where they are easily acces-
sible. This, however, is not the case with the vast
collection of original MSS., cartularies, transcripts, and
collections in the BihliotJieque Nationale itself. The
very valuable class catalogue in the MS. Department
of the British Museum enables the searcher to discover
at a glance, under " Religious orders and monasteries,"
the MS. material there available for any given religious
house. The French institution has nothing of the
kind. Indeed, the editor ventures to assert, from
practical experience in preparing this work, that the
oflBlcials themselves are not able to supply such infor-
mation, or to thread their way in search of it, through
their labyrinth of "fonds." Partly by the references
given in the footnotes to printed books, and partly
from information supplied by friends, whose valuable
help will be acknowledged below, he was gradually
enabled to examine the MSS. likely to afEord informa-
tion ; but he has probably by no means exhausted the
material Ixu-king in the MSS. of this magnificent
collection.
To the examination of the above MSS. the editor
attached great importance because, while separate docu-
ments, whether originals or copies, are almost all
preserved in the Archives Departementales, the car-
tularies, as in the case of St. Evroul, or the valuable
transcripts, made from the originals before their dispersal
by former antiquaries, are largely preserved at Paris.
It is, therefore, absolutely necessary, as will be seen
from the pages of this calendar, that the examination
of records in the provinces should be supplemented
by study of the relative MSS. preserved in the central
depository.

But, though this examination has enabled the editor
to complete and to supplement the labours of those who
transcribed for the Record Commission, it has greatly
increased the complication of the task. When the
transcript is in London, the cartulary in Paris, and the
original or quasi- original in the Archives of some
department, it is obviously no easy matter to secure a
satisfactory text, or to revise the proofs when they
are passing through the press. And the difficulty is
increased when the transcriber, as is too frequently
the case, has extended a word without warning and
extended it wrongly. Por the London transcripts, it
must be remembered, were made the basis of the text.
As if these obstacles were not enough, the references
given for the transcripts have ceased, in cases, to be
accurate. For instance, when M. D'Anisy made his
transcripts from the charters belonging to the Abbey
of Savigny, they were all preserved at Mortain: some
are now in the Archives Nationales ; others are in the
Archives of La Manche ; and a few, so far as the editor
could discover, are no longer to be found. Again
while many documents are not now forthcoming, others,
described as in private hands, when copied, are now in
Departmental Archives. It is hoped, therefore, that
allowance will be made for the many difficulties sur-
rounding a work of this peculiar character, differing, as
it does, so widely from an ordinary calendar of records
that special methods had to be devised for the treatment
and arrangement of its contents.
A belief, however, may be confidently expressed that
its practical value for the student of the period with
which it deals outweighs by far the drawbacks to which
reference has here been made. Instances in point will

be given below; but apart from these, it has three
features to which attention should be drawn. It is, in
the first place, needful to explain that many of the
documents here calendared have now disappeared from
the Departmental Archives. At Caen, for example,
the editor was informed by the able Archwisfe of the
Calvados that there is no trace in the Archives now
of the charters relating to the English priories of the
abbey of St. Pierre-sur-Dives (Nos. 578-589). It is,
obviously, desirable to allude as briefly as possible to
a subject of some delicacy ; but it is an open secret
among French experts that the Norman Archives have,
in the past, suffered serious losses. Considerable interest,
therefore, was aroused by the editor's announcement
that copies of certain lost documents existed in these
transcripts. The marginal notes record the fact that,
when transcribed, they were in the Archives, but the
proportion of them now missing wiU not be ascer-
tained until the Inventaires of those remaining have
been completed.
The second feature of special value is that, as has
been explained above, this calendar contains informa-
tion, not available even in France, as to the contents
of those Archives which have not yet been explored
and catalogued.
Lastly, it is difficult to over-estimate the advantage
of collecting in a single volume so large a number
of documents relating to one period. By the help of
the index it will now be possible not only to determine
several points hitherto obscure in history and biography,
but also to date and explain other documents of the
period, which may hereafter be brought to light,
whether in England or in France. For this purpose
the Monasticon is useless, apart from its bulk and

miscellaneous character, because there is no attempt to
date the dateless documents it contains, and, above
all, from that want of an index of names and places,
which it shares with the Inventaires Sommaires and
with some printed cartularies.
The value of a document, for historical use, must be
so largely dependent on its correct dating, that every
effort has been made to avoid, in this calendar, the
assignment of a wrong or doubtful date. There is,
in the editor's belief, no limit to the errors that may
arise even from a single mistake; and he has, there-
fore, acted throughout on the principle that a wrong
date is worse than none at all. In some cases, after
full research, he has preferred to specify no date ; in
others, he has adopted a wide limit, in order to be
absolutely safe. Where the date is accompanied by a
note of interrogatiou, it is given as highly probable,
but not definitely proved. It must, of course, be borne
in mind that these documents had to be dated without
such assistance as this very volume, by means of its
index, wUl afford.
The use which, both privately and officially, has
been made of Mr. Eyton's well-known work^ renders
necessary some remarks on the system therein adopted.
It was the author's endeavour to assign, from its
contents or from the names of its witnesses, every
charter of Henry II. to some moment in his reign.
But neither his industry nor his skill could enable him
to attain success in what, from the nature of the case,
was an impossible undertaking. A limit of date, —
often a wide one, — is usually all that is possible.
The danger of attempting more is shown by the
fact that charters here brought to light are destructive

of some of Mr. Byton's dates. Por instance, the
great charter of confirmation in favour of the abbey
of BocherviUe (No. 211), with which he was not
acquainted, may, with almost absolute certainty, be
assigned to 1180, for it is subsequent to WUliam
Fitz Ralf becoming seneschal of Normandy, and, it
may safely be assumed, to the king's return there in
April 1180. But as the charters to this abbey and
that of St. Victor en Caux printed in the Monasticon,^
were similarly granted at Lillebonne, and have the
same witnesses, we may assign these also to 1180, and
not, as Mr. Eyton thought, to 1173.^ It may be
added that the BocherviUe charter (No. 210) is of
interest also for its late mention of the chancellor Ralf
and his deputy, and for the occurrence, among its
witnesses of several officers whose names are found
on the Norman exchequer roll of 1180. John count
of Vend6me had possibly come to court to secure,
through the king, his absolution by the bishop of
Chartres this year. Another and particularly striking
case is that of the king's great charter of con-
firmation to the abbey of St. Sauveur, which Mr.
Eyton places early in 1157^; for among the gifts it
confirms is that of William de Soliers (No. 979), which
is given by M. D'Anisy a little further on, and is
dated 1160.
It need hardly be said that these remarks are in no
way intended to discredit the labours of a pioneer : their
only object is to demonstrate that his scheme is not
practicable, and to justify the adoption, in this calendar,
of a more cautious system.
As a typical instance of the difficulties presented by
Henry's charters, and of the help that one document

may give for dating others, one may take the ia-
teresting group of those to the abbeys of Prdaux,
St. Mary of Longues (No. 1450), and St. Stephen of
Caen (No. 1413a), on p. 282 of Mr. Eyton's work. To
these we may add one granted to the Priory of
Ste. Barbe (No. 573), which he appears to have over-
looked, and one to the Hospice of Montjoux^ of which
the seven witn'esses are all found among those who
witnessed the charter to Preaux. The Montjoux docu-
ment dates the group by its mention of the bishop-
elect of Coventry ; but even the limit so obtained is
no narrower than three years, 1185-1187. Now the
king was in Normandy for twelve months from April
1185, and again for eleven months from the February
of 1187. To which of these two visits does the group
belong ? Mr. Eyton assigned it, without hesitation, to
the close of 1187. But a very important document
(No. 1084), calendared in this volume, reveals the
entourage of the king at Gisors, March 11, 1186 ;
and of the nine names there mentioned, eight are
found as witnesses to the group of charters in question,
while we can actually account for the ninth,^ as the
Pipe EoU specially records that he arrived in Normandy,
this year, from England.^ We can hardly, therefore,
hesitate to assign this group of charters to the king's
earlier visit in 1185, with a probability that it was
previous to the above gathering at Gisors.
But, although groups of individuals may thus be
evidence of date, the presence, among the witnesses to
a charter, of some prominent personage whose move-
ments are believed to be known has been too rashly
relied on, at times, for that purpose. It would be

PREFACE. xxi
possible to select from the documents in this calendar
instances of the presence of such persons at times
and at places where, it would be held, they are not
likely to have been. The famous Nigel, bishop of Ely,
is supposed not to have left England between his pro-
motion to that see (1133) and the death of Henry I.
(1135). Yet two documents here (Nos. 290, 590) reveal
him in Normandy at the court of that king. His
great successor, Longchamp, is believed to have parted
from Richard at Dover in 1189, being left by him in
England. Yet we here find him (No. 1346) attesting
a charter of that king in the neighbourhood of St.
Omer, so that he must have accompanied his sovereign
across the channel. William Marshal, again, a no less
prominent personage, was sent over to England by
John, in 1199, to prepare the way for his accession.
It would be deemed improbable that he could have
returned before John left Normandy; and yet we find
them at Dieppe together on May 21 (No. 112). We see,
therefore, that the movements even of leading men are
not known to us with sufficient certainty to form a
trustworthy criterion of date. Those of the most restless
of our kings are themselves difficult to follow. No
one'would imagine from his "itinerary," in Mr. Eyton's
work, that Henry Eitz Empress was at Grioucester,
surrounded by a crowd of notables on December 13,
1157. And yet, from the Gloucester cartulary,^ the fact
is certain.
No. 1364 can be assigned with tolerable certainty to
Henry's visit to Hesdin (1187),^ and thus confirms the
mention of that visit by E,alf de Diceto. It also confirms
1 Vol. II. p. 105.
^ Unless he stayed there when leaving Prance in June 1184 or returning
there in April 1185, of which there is no evidence.
XXU PREFACE.
the statement in the Oesta that the count of Planders
was -with him there, hut corrects the same writer's
assertion that the earl of Essex awaited him at Aumale.
We can actually date this charter to a day (February
18), in spite of four elaborate notes in Mr. Byfcon's
work (pp. 276-278), rejecting the dates in the Gesta,
in Ealf de Diceto, and in Gervase, on the groimd that
according to Jocelyn de Brakelond, the king did not
leave England till February 27. A careful investigation
will show that Jocelyn himself says nothing of the
date at which the king left, and that Mr. Eyton must
have taken this date from an editorial note,^ in which
the authority vouched for it is no other than the
Gesta; so that this "27th February" (on which the
argument rests) is a mere printer's (or editor's) error
for 17th February (the date of Henry's arrival at
Witsand in the Gesta).
It has been impossible of course, to give the reasons
throughout for dates which would often require a
somewhat lengthy explanation. But in one instance,
at least, such an explanation is required ; and this
instance must sufB.ce.
The date of Nos. 31-33 is of importance, but of
considerable difficulty, as they might belong to 1175 or
1179. The clue is afforded by No. 30, which — from the
bishop of "Winchester appearing as " elect " — must
have been granted when the king was waiting to cross
from Portsmouth, August 8, 1174. He is known to
have so waited at Stokes (Bay) three years later (July 9
1177), so this charter being granted "apud Stokes"
harmonises with the supposition that he was waiting
to cross from Portsmouth. Now the confirmation by
the young king (No. 31), being executed at Westminster,
' Ed. Camden Soc, p. 134.
PREFACE. xxiii
must be subsequent to his reconciliation with his father
in the autumn of 1174, and cannot therefore be earlier
than the middle of May 1175, when father and son
returned to England. As this act of confirmation would
not be delayed till the summer of 1179 — the next possible
date, we must place it previous to the young king's
departure from England in March 1176, and may assign
it, with some confidence, to the summer of 1175. But
this conclusion dates No. 33, for the witnesses are almost
identical; and No. 33, again, dates No. 32, of which
it is the confirmation. And with this conclusion the
witnesses to No. 32 are in perfect agreement.
But, further, the original transaction confirmed by
Nos. 32, 33, is recorded in a document not tran-
scribed by M. DeviUe, though it is preserved (G. 4362)
in the Archives of the Seine Inferieure. By this
charter Hawise wife of Bernard Oomin sells to "Walter
de Coutances, treasurer of the church of Bouen,
a portion of the inheritance of Ralf Eitz Stephen her
brother " publice in plena communia Eothomagi, coram

effect (G. 4363), in which " Robert " is substituted for
" EaK " (according to the Inventaire) is also " actum

" Roberto decano, Radulfo cancellario, Petro cantore."
Having dated the above royal charters, we can now
assert that these Rouen documents cannot be later than
1175, which carries back the Mayoralty of Bartholomew
Eergant and the full communal organisation to that

date.^ The first appearance of a mayor of Eouen has
been hitherto assigned, by Prench antiquaries, to 1177/
and the earlier date here ascertained is important not
merely for municipal history, but for its bearing on_
other documents, such as No. 29, the date of which is
discussed, but left undecided in the Introduction to the
" Lay-Folks' Mass Book " (pp. xliii.-xlix.).*
In his great monograph on the Etablissements de
Bouen, M. Giry accepted 1177 as the earliest date for
the appearance of the Mayor,* and wrote accordingly
that the documents available do not decide the question
of precedence between Eouen and La Rochelle, as they
only prove that the common municipal organisation
was adopted at Eouen between 1177 and 1183, and at
La Eochelle between 1169 and 1199.^ But as, from
these documents, we can carry back to 1175 at latest
the appearance of a mayor at Eouen, so, at La Eochelle,
we can advance the limit from 1169 to 1175. For the
charter by which that town received from Henry II. its
commune (No. 1251) must clearly be assigned to February
1175, though dated by M. Marchegay 1170, and cautiously
placed by M. Giry between 1169 and 1178.^ In further
illustration of what has been said as to the incomplete
acquaintance of French and English scholars with one
another's labours, it may be observed that M. Giry
(1883) was restricted to the outline itinerary of
Henry II. given by Stubbs, and evidently did not
know of Mr. Eyton's work (1878). The above charter
was granted at Le Mans, and must belong to April
1 These two documents, together with the confirmation by the young
king (which is there wrongly given as by Henry II. himself) are assigned
in the official Inventaire Sommaire (1881) to "vers 1189" (p. 355) an
impossible date.

PREFACE. XXV
1174 or February 1175. Now we know that Ricliard,
who was present at the time, was at Le Mans with
the king on the latter occasion, and cannot have been
on the former, when he was in open revolt. To this
it may be added that five of its witnesses (Stephen,
bishop of Rennes, Maurice de Oraon, Pulk Paynel,
Josbert de Pr^cigny and Geoffrey de Perche) are
known to have been with the king in Normandy
two months before (Eyton, p. 186).
The dating of No. 1167 was a matter of anxious con-
sideration. Circumscribed within (September) 1055 and
1064 by the names of the archbishop of Rouen and
the abbot of Marmoutier, it is here recorded in a
charte-notice which, being of later date, interpolates
in two places, the count's subsequent kingship. As
" bishop Grervase " can be no other than Gervase,
bishop of Le Mans, who had taken refuge at WiUiam's
court, and became archbishop of Rheims in October
1055, the date seems fixed to the narrow limit Sept.-
Oct. 1055.^ Yet the names are more suggestive of a
date ten years later. Among them are all five of
those who append their signa to a charter of 1066
(No. 73), while a number of them are on the list
of those who contributed ships for the duke's invasion
of England.^
The date assigned in the margin to No. 817 is
similarly determined by the name of Pope Lucius III.,
but the contents of No. 818 suggest that the Pope's
name should rather be Lucius XL, and the date forty
years earlier.
As experts know, a frequent snare is set, in scribes'
copies, by the trick of assigning, as above, to a king
1 Robert the other bishop has not been identified. Robert of Jumifeges
would hardly be so styled.

XXVI PREFACE.
or noble a style he did not bear till a date later than
the charter. An interesting example of this is found
in No. 113, which assigns to William I. his regal
style. M. Delisle who cites this document as a " Fausse
charte," writes : —
La faussetd de cette charte r^sulte de ce que Guillaume y
prend le titre de roi d'Angleterre, et de ce qu'elle est souscrite
par plusieurs personnes dont la mort arriva avant 1066.^
The editor, however, ventures to hold that this is
a charter of the critical years 1035-1037, and that the
list of witnesses is wholly consistent with that date,
allowing for the interpolation by a long subsequent
scribe, in accordance with a mischievous practice, of
an ante-dated style. Among them, indeed, is an
archbishop " Gringolor," whose name may sound
suspicious ; but he is no other than " Junkeneus,"
who is found in charters as " archbishop " of Dol so
late as 1032, and whose successor does not occur before
1040.^
Less comprehensible is such a slip as in No. 357,
in which the king's style is not of later but of earlier
date than the document. This charter, which probably
contains quite the earliest mention of Hythe, might
well be dated before the Conquest, did it not relate
to lands in England. The only year to which it seems
possible to assign it is 1067 ; and in this year Hugh de
Moutfort was actively employed in England. "We
should, hardly, therefore expect to find him in Normandy
with William.
Lastly, the style may be right and the date in the
charter wrong. Thus No. 412 seems to be accepted as
a document of 1061 by M. Delisle, who observes of it : —
1 Histoire . . . . de St. Sauveur, p. 48.
2 Gallia Christiana XIV. 1045.
PREFACE. xxvii
Le titre de roi donn^ k Guillaume le Bsltard dans une charte
de I'annde 1061 suffit pour montrer que le texte de cette charte
a 6t6 remani^ apr^s coup.^
It appears to the editor more probable that this
charter may actually belong to the Council of Lille-
bonne in. 1080 (held, as the charter records, at
Whitsuntide), a date in accordance with the names of
the five prelates (except Hugh bishop of Lisieux,
whom Gilbert had replaced three years before) together
with those of WLUiam de Breteuil and Ralf de Conches
(i.e., de Tosni), who bad probably made their peace.
In this case the date given in the document is
altogether wrong, and the right one is 25 May, 1080.
In spite of the great and just reputation of Erench
scholars in Diplomatique, and of the fact that the
Archivistes are trained in the Ecole des Chartes, the
editor has felt compelled to differ, as to the dates of
some documents, not only from these skilled officials,
but from some of the greatest authorities in France
(Nos. 307, 763, 999, 1016, 1162, 1200^). He has,
however, in such cases, been careful to record the
dates which they have adopted. No. 1280, of interest
for its bearing on our own Gonstitutio domus regis,
presents great diflEiculties, as the witnesses' names are
probably corrupt. The name of Robert de Curci
proves that 1157 is the latest possible date, while,
if E.[obert] de Ver were a witness, his name would
be decisive proof that the charter was one of Henry I.
about the close of his reign. It must, therefore, be
concluded that he was not.^

3 Before leaving the subject of dates the editor would correct an
unfortunate slip in No. 432, detected by him while these pages were
passing through the press. The date (" mclxxxii.") is wrongly given
in the text, as " mclxxiil" As Henry II. did actually spend the Christmas
of H73 at Caen, the latter date seemed at first fully confirmed.
xxvui PREFACE.
SbnietBng must now be said of the charai3ter of
those transcripts on which this calendar is based. The
great bulk of them is contained in Nos. 140 A, 140 B
of the foreign transcript series in the Public Record
Office, which are devoted respectively to Upper and
Lower Normandy. The latter, known as D'Anisy's
transcripts, consists of three volumes, and, being care-
fully arranged and bound and deposited in the search-
room, is tolerably familiar and was used by Mr. Eyton
for his Itinerary of Henry II. Of Deville's transcripts
(1.40 A) on the other hand, the existence was practi-
cally forgotten ; and Mr. Eyton, consequently did not
know of these valuable materials for his work. They
are not indexed, but a list of them is given in the
unindexed and unpublished Cooper's " Appendix to
Eoedera, B, 0, D."
In a Latin preface, dated January 23, 1835, M. Deville
explains that the documents he has transcribed were
examined by him, during 1833 and 1834, in the
archives and the public and private libraries of Upper
Normandy (now the Departments of Seine-Inferieure
and Eure). He claims that the transcripts are most
carefully made from charters, cartularies, "vidimus,"
or other authentic sources, the place where the docu-
ments were found specified, and the preservation of
seals noted. In cases where the documents had been
previously published, he justifies his transcripts as giving
a more perfect text. The character of his work is
distinctly good, although collation has revealed an
occasional mistake.
Eor a report on the Archives of Lower Normandy,
comprising the modern Departments of Orne, La
Manche, and Calvados, the Commission were fortunate
in securing the services of M. Lechaud^ D'Anisy,
who,' as a labour of Ibve,' had deroted six years to
examining and calendaring the vast collection in the
departmental Archives of Calvados. He had been
successful in bringing to light over ten thousand
documents, of which nothing had been known, and
had executed drawings of more than 500 of the seals
still appendant to them. The result of these labours
is seen in the 7th and 8th volumes of the MSmoires
de la Society des Antiquaires de Normandie (ISSdi)
and in the accompanying "Atlas" (1835), containing
drawings of the seals he had selected and illustrations
of Palseography. His general observations on Norman
Diplomatique will be found in his Introduction to the
first of these volumes.^
Accepting with enthusiasm, he writes, the task
entrusted to him, in spite of his age and his feeble
health, M. D'Anisy extended his researches to the rest
of Lower Normandy ; and, through his labours, the
Record Commission became the means of making
known documents of which the existence had hitherto
been unsuspected. To the value of its initiative in
that respect he bore striking testimony. After describing
how the archives of Mont St. Michel were carried
off to St. L6, and there exposed to rain and wind,
whUe a damp tower, over an ice-house, was being
prepared for their reception, he exclaims : —
"C'est dans cet etat que ces actes furent jetes sans ordre
dans ce d6p6t devorant et dans lequel ils achevferent de se
decomposer. Honneur done a la Commission des Archives
d'Angleterre a laquelle la France sera redevable de ces documents
1 A somewhat low opinion of M. D'Anisy's scholarship is entertained
in Prance ; but although he occasionally made curious mistakes (as in
No. 748, where he completely misled Mr. Eyton by reading " Kadun " for
" Rading"), the editor has found his work, as a whole, stand the test of
collation with success.

A no less remarkable discovery was made by him
at Mortain, where he found in a garret, concealed
beneath a layer of dirt and dust, a foot in thickness,
the magnificent collection of charters and seals be-
longing to the abbey of Savigny, which had been
thrown there in the tumults of 1793. The results of
this notable find are contained in the third volume
of his transcripts, fos. 57-174.
To the three volumes in which are embodied the fruits
of M. D'Anisy's researches, he gave the name of a
" Cartulary of Lower Normandy,"* the leading idea that
he kept in view being the formation of a Mbnasticon
Anglo-Normanniciim}
The prominence his scheme of work assigned to the
history of the religious houses themselves led him to
include many documents which cannot be legitimately
said to bear on English history. Indeed, at the close of
his Introduction, he frankly admitted that he had pre-
ferred to include documents unduly rather than to leave
out any that might prove of service. It has, therefore,
been found necessary to omit from the present calendar
several of the charters he transcribed. On the other
hand, he was so careful, in accordance vdth the in-
structions he received, not to include anything that was
already accessible in print, that it has hardly been
necessary to reject on that ground anything be selected
for iaclusion.

PEErACE. xxxi
In the Preface to this MS. " Cartulaire," and in his
Introduction to Vol. VII. of the Memoires {ut supra)
M. D'Anisy dwelt on the vicissitudes the archives of
Normandy had undergone. In the 15th century the
English, on their departure, had taken with them, it is
said, many of the recotds relating to its religious houses.
Conversely, in the following century, monks fleeing
from the English Reformation, brought over, he alleges,
with them English charters for safe keeping. The
effects of the Great Revolution were most disastrous on
these archives, for although it made them accessible to
the public, it exposed them to negligent and reckless
treatment, with the result that a large proportion was
lost, alienated, or injured, while many of the finest
charters were deliberately employed to make cartridge
cases for the navy. As if this were not sufl&cient, it
was decreed on June 25, 1794, that aU documents recall-
ing English domination in France were to be destroyed.^
It is certainly remarkable, under these circiunstances,
that so many documents have survived, and stiU more
so is the number of seals in more or less perfect condi-
tion. Those of interest which are not illustrated in
M. D'Anisy's "Atlas," were depicted by him for the
Commission, and it is not too much to say that the
drawings of them in these volumes are executed with
admirable skiU. Special attention may be called to
No. 762, on the seal of which is a representation of
the chronicler, Robert de Torigny, holding a book in
one of his hands.

of Coutances, for instance, were barbarously used by them, but " d'un

Vol. 133 of the Transcript series contains copies of
documents preserved in the Archives Nationales, executed
by trained students. It is little, if at all, known. In
order to adhere as far as possible to the original
arrangement, the transcripts in this volume have been
calendared apart under "Paris." But the documents
obtained by the editor himself from the MSS. at the
BibliotMque Nationale, are treated under the provinces
to which they severally relate. Outside Normandy there
are certain religious houses, of which the records deserve
special mention.
The charters of the abbey of Tiron in Perche wiU be
virtually new to English historians. A so-called car-
tulary of tlie abbey in the BibliotMque Nationale proves
to be only a modern transcript made by M. Lejenne,
public librarian of Ohartres, in 1839, from a very late
compilation lent to him by its then owner. The only
cartulary of value for England is one of the 12th
century which was published latterly by the Society
Archdologique d' Eur e-et- Loir? Although very fully
described by its editor, its present resting-place seems
to be unmentioned, but the original charters are believed
to be now in the archives of Eure-et-Loir. In spite
of his official position and high qualifications, the
editor has not been fortunate in his dealings with th«
English dependencies of the abbey. He assigns to it
in Wales two abbeys, " Oaithmeis" and " St. Dogmaels "
(on the latter of which, one reads, he has no informa-
tion) though these were but one house ; and in Scotland
also two abbeys, "Notre Dame de Kelso," formerly
"Notre Dame de Eoxburgh," which was situated "h
"Selkirk, ville du comtd de Eoxburgh," and transferred

to Kelso in 1128 ; and " S^lecherehe." Of the latter, we
read, "nous n'avons aucun renseignment sur cette
" abbaye, situee dans le comte de Cumberland {sic) en
"Ecosse" (I. cxix.) : yet the name is obTiously " Sele-
cherche," i.e. Selkirk. The interesting charter of the
Empress Matilda, which belongs to 1141, is assigned to
1127, and her uncle, king David, who is among the
witnesses, is transformed into his wife the queen, a scribe
having evidently misread, as was sometimes the case,
"A" for "D," When one adds that the note on
William de Rollos is derived from the pseudo-Ingulf,
it will be evident that the French edition must be used
with extreme caution.^
The abbey has a special interest for England on
account of its endowment, from English revenues, by
Henry I., who had a warm admiration for its founder.
As the fact, in England at least, seems to have remained
unknown, the passage from which we learn it, may
here be quoted : —
'' Aliqui vero, quia ilium secum in finibus suis prsesentem
habere non poterant, de monachis ejus duodenos assumentes in
territoriis suis monasteria construebant. Quorum unus Henricus
rex Anglorum duxque Normannorum extitit, qui transmissis
duobus excellentissimis principibus, Theobaudo scilicet Blesensi
comite, atque Rotroco Perticensium consule, inagnis precibus
exorabat quatinus idem Domini famulus usque in Normanniam
veniens, sibi corporis prsesentiam exhiberet, excusans se quod
propter diversorum accidentium insperatos eventus, finium suorum
metas excedere non auderet. Quo annuente, mox ut eum Rex
vidit, manus ad ccelum portans atque ipsius inhabitatori, Ohristo
videlicet, immensas grates retulit, datisque sibi mutuis amplexi-
bus, eum debita cum honorificentia suscepit, cujus post auditam
competentem doetrinam, quamplurima donaria obtulit, insuper et
quindecim marcas argenti monasterio suo quoque anno per-
petualiter habendas dedit,"^

"Prse niraia quoqlie amoris dulcedine, quem ad Christi con-
fessorem deinceps habuit, in tantum monachos illius, quoad vixit,
dilexit, ut unoquoque anno, prseter redditum quem diximus, eis

numero, transmitteret, et ut religio institutionis illius non decli-
naret diligenter admonuit. Nostri etiam dormitorii aedes faciendas
suscepit, quas, multis expensis pecuniis regia magnificentia con-
summavit.'"
Henry's envoys, his nephew and son-in-law, are both
mentioned by Orderic as special benefactors of Tiron,^
and were both actively supporting him at the siege of
Belesme in May 1114. It was, no doubt, through them
that Henry heard of the virtues of St. Bernard.
The charter which in these pages is placed at the
head of the list, is dated (as, at this period, was not
unusual), " apud Eotomagum, in die qua barones
Normannie eflfecti homines filii regis." This event is
usually assigned to the eve of the king's departure
from Normandy in 1120.* But as the charter is
witnessed by the count of Meulan, who died in 1118,
it must belong to an earlier occasion. Such an occasion
is mentioned by Henry of Huntingdon in 1115 : —
"Kex .... fecit omnes proceres patrise fidelitatem
Domino debitam Willelmo filio suo jurare, et in Angliam rediit." *
We may then safely assign the charter (which the
French editor dated " circa 1117 ") to this occasion, and
thus find in it a confirmation of the chronicler's
statement. Henry will have made the barons of
Normandy do homage to his son before be left its
shores in the summer of 1116, as he did on the eve
of leaving it in the winter of 1120.

PREFACE. XXXV
The three charters relating to St. Dogmaeb, otherwise
the ahbey of St. Mary of Kemeys, are not only new,
but are all earlier than the charter given in the
Mbnastieon. As the history of its foundation is,
admittedly, obscure, they are valuable, especially for
the light they throw on the conversion of a priory into
this abbey, which had been, we find, effected before
the king's return to England at the close of 1120. It
should be noted that one of the king's charters is
separately confirmed by his son, whose act is witnessed
by Otuer " Pitz Count," who perished with him in the
White Ship. This confirms the statement of Orderic
that Otuer acted as his tutor. The Mbnastieon charter
cannot be earlier than 1121, being witnessed by queen
Adeliza, but as it was granted when the first abbot
was blessed by the bishop of St. Davids, it not impro-
bably belongs to the king's visit to Wales in that year/
in which case we could say that he was in the Pembroke
district, September 11, 1121.
It has been suggested that the original founder of
the abbey's Welsh house was the father of Robert
fitz Martin.^ Of this father nothing is really known.
The editor would suggest that his name was not " Martin
de Tours," as is always stated, but that we may detect
him in "Martinus de Walls," the first witness to the
foundation charter of Totness Priory.^ This would
carry back to a very early date his settlement in Wales.
But the narrative quoted above is conclusive as to
Eobert's claim : —
Per idem tempus Robertus quidam genere nobilisaimus sanctum
virum ab Oceani partibus adiit, atque tredecim ex ipsius discipulis
secum assumeas, Normannicos Anglicosque fines pertransiit, et ad
ultimos Galentium* regionum metas perveniens, in littore maris

Special attention has here been drawn to these Tiron
charters, because there has recently been published a
history of " the Lordes of the Barony of Kernes," annotated
with a wealth of erudition, to the editor of which they
were not known.^ This is an excellent illustration of
the fact insisted on above, namely, that such documents,
even though in print abroad, have remained, in England,
virtually unknown, because buried in scattered quarters.
Of the remaining charters, two throw light on the
family of William Martel, a prominent follower of
Stephen; one connected, evidently, with Titley Priory
proves that Crown demesne, has passed, in Hereford-
shire, to Adam de Port, more than forty years earlier
there Dugdale connects the name with that county ; two
(Nos. 1010, 1011), are of interest for Scottish antiquaries;
and a group of considerable importance is discussed
below (p. xliv).
The charters of the famous abbey of Pontevrault
have remained little, if at all, known in England. And
yet, as M. Marchegay truly said, "Pour le douzifeme
si^cle et le treizifeme surtout, il serait diflS.cile de
reunir ixn plus grand nombre de belles et antiques
chartes, toutes inddites. "* In addition to the originals
now preserved in the archives of Maine-et-Loire, there
is in the same deposit a cartulary of the abbey,
in nine volumes, formed by Pfere Lardier in 1648-1658,
from the originals ; and from this cartulary in 1699,
Gaign^res compiled the fine transcript in two volumes,

now MS. lat. 5480 at Paris. Like D'Auisy, these
industrious scholars of the 17th century were careful
to record and copy the seals then appendant to the
charters; and their drawings are now of great value.
Of these documents, the most striking, if not the
most important, is the final agreement between Henry II.
and his daughter-in-law Margaret, at Gisors, in the
presence of her brother king Philip, March 11th, 1186
(No. 1084). Mr. Eyton could not assign a single charter
to Henry's visit to Normandy, 118B-86; so that this
dated evidence is doubly welcome. We here see with
the French king his paternal uncle, count Eobert of
Dreux, his maternal uncles, count Theobald of Blois, count
Stephen of Sancerre, and William, archbishop of Rheims,
and his wife's uncle, count Philip of Flanders.^ The
" affidatio in manu " is well illustrated by this document,
and its precise reckoning of Angevin money as then one
quarter the value of sterling should be noted. Next in
importance are the charters (Nos. 1052-3, 1055-6), relating
to Henry I.'s endowment, which are dealt with below .^
From two documents (Nos. 1057-8), we learn the curious
fact that Reginald de St. Valery, having forfeited his
English possessions by adhering to the Angevin cause
had received, in compensation, till he should regain
them, the revenues of the port of Dieppe. Reginald's
counterseal, at this early date, is alleged to have borne
a lion passant. It is particularly interesting to find
Matthew, duke Henry's teacher {doctor) witnessing two
of his charters, for this was the master under whom
he was educated for four years at Bristol.*
The documents preserved at Angers, in the archives
of Maine-et-Loire, relating to the endowments, English

and foreigD, of the abbey of St. Florent de Saumur
are of exceptional value for the purpose of this
calendar. Many of them were published by M. Paul
Marchegay, in various quarters, as follows: (1) Les
Frieures Anglais de St. Florent pris Saumur, in
Mbliothe'que de I'Ecole des Charles, Vol. XL. (1879),
pp. 154 el seq. ; (2) Charles Normandes de VAbbaye
de SI. Florent pris Saumur, in Mimoires de la
Soci4U des Antiquaires de la Normamdie, Vol. XXX.
(1880), pp. 663 el seq. Collation by the editor proved
that there was little to correct in these texts. But
it is needful to bear in mind, first that the so-caUed
original charters are mostly not the real originals,
but documents recording their contents — ^which are
accordingly calendared with the prefix " [Notification
that] " ; secondly that M. Marchegay's editorial notes
have required revision throughout. He frankly confessed,
indeed, that his dates " devront 6tre minutieusement
contr61ees "^ ; and, as a matter of fact, a Monmouth
charter he assigned to " vers 1090," has been ascer-
tained to belong to 1101 or 1102, (No. 1136), while one
relating to a Sussex manor, which he dated "vers 1140,"
proves to have been placed by him two generations loo
late, and to have been reaUy executed by a Domesday
tenant-in-chief, and attested by his under-tenants.
Eor the abbey of Marmoutier at Tours, and the
priories dependent on it, we are largely dependent on
17th century transcripts. Those of Gaignferes, which ho
made from the original charters, prove singularly accu-
rate when collated with those which survive, and have
the great merit of preserving all abbreviations.
It has been deemed desirable to include in this
collection the Cluny documents now preserved in the
Bibliotheque de I'Scole des Chartes XL. 155.
PREFACE. xxxix
BibliotMque Nationale, Paris, of which, till somewhat
recently, nothing was known in England. Sir George
Duckett's work^ hrought them to the notice of scholars ;
hut on examining the original records in the Collection
de Bourgogne and those transcribed in Cartulary D (MS.
lat. 5459), the editor discovered that some documents
had been omitted in that work, while others had been
misunderstood. No. 1389 is printed by Sir George
from the very imperfect original, but the editor has
been enabled to complete the text from the cartulary,
and thus to assign the charter to the great council
of Northampton (September 8, 1131).^ There has
also been some confusion as to the charters of
Henry II. That which will be now described has been
identified with a totally distinct one.* It is a document
(No. 1400) of special interest, because we can assign it,
with absolute certainty, to an eventful occasion. It
must be subsequent to John of Oxford becoming bishop
of Norwich (appointed November 26, cons. December 14,
1175) and previous to his departure from England with
Richard de CamviUe, who is also a witness, in the early
summer of 1176. This points directly to the great council
at Northampton (26 January, 1176), at which the Assize
of Northampton was promulgated, and justices appointed
for six circuits. No document is assigned by Mr. Eyton
to this occasion, and the present charter fills the gap.
Among its witnesses are four of the justices appointed at
this council, Hugh de Cressi, Bertram de Verdon, and
William Eitz Ralf, with RanduK de Glanville himself.
Of the others, the bishops of Winchester, Ely, and

Norwich were all connected with judicial proceedings.^
Ralf Brito acted later as a judge, whUe the name of
Richard de Luci speaks for itself. The BaUiol charter
(No. 1392) is of great value for the early pedigree of this
famous house, and estahlishes its Picard origin, a fact
which seems to he douhted.^
It will only he possihle within the compass of this
Preface to touch on some of the many points upon
which the documents here collected afford, when carefully
examined, new and important information. Alien priories
and English endowments hestowed on foreign abheys are
in the Monasticon Anglicanwm comparatively neglected
subjects. Dugdale admitted, in dealing with one of
them, Wolston Priory, that he found it difficult to obtain
in England the information required.* But from foreign
sources is now supplied the foundation of this very priory
(No. 578), as well as that of Burwell, of which he could
tell us nothing, but which is now carried back to a
Domesday tenant-in-chief. Sporle Priory, Norfolk, is
another of these alien houses of which the interesting
foundation (No. 1149) had hitherto remained unknown.
In addition to the light it throws on the origin of
Burwell Priory, the cartulary of La Sauve affords us
new and remarkable information on the honour of Hol-
derness. It has hitherto been believed that this honour,
assigned in Domesday Book to "Drogo de Bevrere,"
was given, on his forfeiture, to Odo of Champagne, a
brother-in-law of the Conqueror, and passed from him to
Stephen of Aumale, his son and successor.* Nor has

PREFACE. xli
there been any reason to doubt this version. Yet we here
find Arnulf de Montgomery giving the churches of
Barrow and Bytham, in the Lincolnshire portion of the
honour, to the abbey of La Sauve, and WiUiam Bufus
confirming the gift (No. 1236). It might indeed be rash
to rely on this evidence alone, but fortunately, in quite
another quarter, we obtain ample confirmation. A docu-
ment belonging to St. Martin of Sees (No. 667) proves
that Arnulf endowed its cell which he had founded at
Pembroke with tithes from certain English churches,
which can all be identified as belonging to the honour
of Holderness. His possession of that honour has to be
accounted for. When we remember that the revolt of 1095
was intended to dethrone William Eufus in favour of
Stephen of Aumale, and that his father Odo was deprived
of his lands^ and sentenced to captivity in consequence,^
we have, surely, no difllculty in accounting for the
Crown being free to bestow on Arnulf de Montgomery
the honour of Holderness. Obtaining it shortly after
1095, he would hold it at least to 1100, if not to his fall
and departure in 1102. On Stephen of Aumale regaining
it under Henry I., he bestowed upon his own foundation
of St. Martin d'Acy, in 1115, the Lincolnshire church of
Barrow (Bytham was added afterwards) which Arnulf
had given to La Sauve, and those of PaghUl, Preston,
Skeekling, Prodingham, Tunstall, Withernsea, Easington,
and Carlton, from which Arnulf had endowed Pembroke
Priory^ ; also the tithes of his castle at Aldbrough, which,
therefore, probably was the " castle " spoken of in Arnulf 's
endowment (No. 667). Here then we have evidence of
the transfer of endowments, without regard for previous
gifts, when a fief changed hands.

xlii PREFACE.
To the grant of "Oatford" church (No. 1234) there
attaches an exceptional interest; for the mention of its
" canons " proves that it can be no other than the great
collegiate church founded by earl Roger de Montgomery
at Quatford. Mr. Byton, who assigned this foundation
to 1086, and traced with great care its brief collegiate
existence,^ was wholly unaware of this grant to La Sauve,
to which the downfall of the house of Belesme a few
years later, if not the desertion of Quatford for Bridg-
north, must quickly have proved fatal. This case should
be compared with that of the collegiate church of Olun.
The fact that Buroot on the Severn, a member of Wor-
field, was among the endowments of Quatford church
at its foundation, may account for the grant of land etc.
at Worfleld to La Sauve (No. 1238).
It is a work of the utmost difficulty to disentangle
the various endowments conferred by William de Braose
{i.e. Briouze) on the abbey of St. Florent de Saumur.
The documents themselves are conflicting in their evi-
dence, and none of the accounts based upon them appears
satisfactory to the editor. What really happened, it
would seem, is this. In England, William founded, in
1073, a church of canons at Bramber (the seat of his
well-known castle) which he endowed with the church of
Beeding (afterwards " Sele") etc. (No. 1130). Meanwhile,
he had endowed the church of Briouze in Normandy
with churches and lands, and had given it to the monks
of Lonlay, intending that they should, in time, make it
an abbey (No. 1116). As they objected to this scheme,
he took it back and placed clerks there (lb.).
Eventually, however, in or about 1079, he resolved to
entrust the monks of St. Elorent with his contemplated
abbey at Briouze, and in order to increase his previous
1 History of Shropshire I. 106-116.
PREFACE. Xliii
endowment, which was insufficient for its purpose, he
added the church of Bramber, with its endowments, and
other churches in England (No. 1112). But as the
contemplated abbey was never established, and Briouze
remained a priory only, the English endowment was
devoted to an independent priory, which, founded at
Beeding instead of Bramber (perhaps on account of
the transaction recorded in No. 1131), took the name
of Sele.
Of the English possessions of the abbey of St. Sever
scarcely anything has hitherto been known. The dis-
covery by the editor in the Gartulaire de Normandie
of their confirmation by Adrian IV. (No. 615) enables
us to name no fewer than thirty-three localities in. which
it held churches or endowments. Its great benefactor was
Hugh, the Conqueror's earl of Chester, who re-founded
the Norman house, and to whose English fief, analysis
proves, ahnost all its possessions belonged. It had cells
at Henstridge,^ Somerset, and Haugham,^ Lincolnshire,
at both which places it is entered in Domesday as holding
of earl Hugh.
The grants to the abbeys of Cluny and Fontevrault,
charged on the revenues from English cities, form an
instructive addition to our knowledge of Norman finance.
In 1129, Henry I. granted to Fontevrault a hundred
poimds annually in money of E.ouen from the revenue
of his mint there, 30 marcs of silver from the form of
his city of London and 20 marcs from that of Winchester
(No. 1062). No such payments are entered on the Pipe
Roll of 1130, and in 1131 (January 13) he substituted a
fresh grant of 60 marcs a year out of the ferm of London
1 The " Endeston " or " Eynestane " of the Monasticon (VI. 1052, 1057),
i.e., Teanston in Henstridge (CoUinson II. 365).

and 40 marcs out of that of Winchester (No. 1460). Four
months later, he hestowed on the abbey of Oluny a
similar endowment, 60 marcs from the ferm of London,
and 40 marcs from that of Lincoln, adding the interesting
provision that his officers were to bring this money, with
his ferms, to his Exchequer at Michaelmas, failing which,
his justice[s] of the Exchequer (justida mea scaccarii)
were to enforce payment etc. (No. 1387).^ The apportion-
ment of the charge was altered to 50 marcs from London
and 50 from Lincoln by a rather later charter (No. 1389).
These references to the Exchequer and to its coercive
jurisdiction are remarkable for their early date. It should
be observed that, although these sums are to be received
" from my treasury," the money can never have actually
passed " in thesauro," as the agent of the abbey was to
intercept it at the Exchequer.
With these grants should be grouped the remarkable
series of charters relating to a similar endowment con-
ferred on the abbey of Tiron (Nos. 998-1003.) Their
special feature is that they charge the endowment at
first, not on the ferm of any town, but on the king's
treasury at Winchester, and make it payable at
Michaelmas. We have here, incidentally, what is vir-
tually evidence that the annual Michaelmas audit,
afterwards held at the Exchequer, was, at this period,
still held at the Winchester treasury. Some quarter of
a century after Henry I. had made this grant, it was
confirmed by his daughter the Empress, but was now
specially charged on the ferm of Winchester itself. Her
charter was confirmed, in the same terms, by Henry II.
^ With this should be compared his writ to bishop Eoger and the
barons of the Exchequer, for Holy Trinity Priory, London : " ut ita
" constringatis vicecomitem ut eas reddat eis sicut faceretis de mea
" propria flrma."
PREFACE. xlv
before his accession ; and finally, in 1189, we find
Richard I. describing the endowment as payable at his
Exchequer in London. It is very remarkable that the
Empress confirmed the grants both to Fontevrault and
Tiron about the same time in 1141, the former charter
being actually addressed to the officers in charge of London,
from which she had just been expelled. Neither of these
her charters has hitherto been known.^ Equally curious
in its way is the confirmation by duke Henry to Tiron, in
which he deals with English revenues as if already king.
There must have been a similar grant by the Orown to
the great abbey of Marmoutier ; for, in his manuscript
history of that house, founded on its charters, Bom
Martfene wrote that —
Hilgodus [abbot 1100-1104], etant passe en Angleterre, y fut
re9U du roi et de la reine avec une bonte vraiment royale. II
eprouva des effets de leur magnificence par le don qu'ils lui firent
de trente marcs d'argent par an pour son monastfere.^
Such an endowment, at that early date, would be of
peculiar interest if the charter could be found; but the
editor was unsuccessful in the special search he made
for it.
An admirable instance of the value of these documents
for Anglo-Norman genealogy is found in the new light
they throw on the family of Bohun. Mr. Stapleton, who
first investigated the subject in his well-known work on
the Norman Exchequer,* decided that Engelger de
Bohun,* who was in close attendance on Henry II. before
his accession, and acted as a justiciary in Normandy

for his father, and who appears later as paternal uncle
(" patruus ") of Jocelin bishop of Salisbury was the son
of another Bngelger whose wife was "apparently a
" daughter of Eichard de Meri. "^ This Richard, he
held, had, besides her, a son Herbert, whom he placed
as a child in the abbey of Marmoutier in 1113. The
pedigree was next investigated by Dr. Stubbs, who
devoted to it a long note in his edition of the LitercB
Gcmtuariemes (1866),^ in which he held that —
"Richard de Meri made his heir Engelger, a noble of the
C6tentin, who was almost certainly his son-in-law. This
Engelger had a son, Engelger II., who .... was living
to nearly 1180."
Some years later a writer in the Serald cmd Genealogist
attacked the pedigree anew, urging that the first Engelger
was one of the house of de Eougferes.* Then Mr. Chester
Waters, who was deemed the leading authority on these
subjects, wrote a long and learned article,* accept-
ing everything said by Stapleton, " who was facile
" prmceps of our Anglo-Norman genealogists," and
maintaining, in addition, that Savaric Eitz Cana, the
founder of the Bohuns of Midhurst, married " the
" daughter of Engelger (I.) by the heiress of Bichard
" deMeri."^
Although Stapleton had been over the ground covered
by this calendar, the results of the evidence it contains
are startling. It not only gives us the names, hitherto
unknown, of the wives of Eichard de Meri and
Savaric Eitz Cana (Nos. 669, 1213), but proves that
the two Engelgers (son-in-law and maternal grandson
of Eichard) were, in reality, but one, who was, on the

contrary, his son^ (Fos. 662, 1215). Moreover, Savaric's
wife was the (laugliter not of Engelger de Bohun, but of

given by Mr. Chester Waters. And further, exami-
nation of the Marmoutier charter (No. 1213) proves
that Mr. Stapleton had so misread it that its date is
1092, not 1113, and that the boy left by Eichard with
the monks was not Herbert, but Humfrey.
It has been said by Sir H. Barkly that " Despite all
*' researches, Ernulph de Hesding still remains one of
" the most mysterious personages in Domesday," * A
tenant-in-chief in ten counties, and a tenant, under
bishop Odo, in Kent, it has never been proved where he
came from, or how his manors descended. Mr. Eyton
established the fact that some of them passed to the
Mtz Alans, through the marriage of his daughter Avelina
with Alan Eitz Flaald ; and he assigned him two other
daughters, one of whom, Matilda, married Patrick de
Cadurcis, who undoubtedly held in her right (No. 1033)
a large proportion of BrnuJf's fief.* Later research
recognises only Avelina and Matilda, while the editor
himself has never found any real proof that Matilda was
a daughter of Ernulf. Seeking further light on the
problem, he discovered, in a special examination of the
cartulary of St. George, Hesdiu, a charter of Ernulf
hitherto unknown (No, 1326) which not only locates him
in Erance, but mentions his daughter Ava, who was
clearly the above " Avelina," wife of Alan Eitz Elaald.
1 This overthrows the entry in the Testa de Nevill.
2 It is remarkable that Dr. Stubbs thought this " probable."

It will pro'bably be found that Matilda and lier husband
obtained Ernulf s lands otherwise than by inheritance.
So great is the obscurity that still surrounds the origin
of some of our feudal houses that the race whose name
was Anglicised as Oha worth and Latinised as " de
Oadurcis," " de Chaorciis," etc./ has been derived
diversely by our best authorities, Mr. Ellis* and others
identifying its name with that of the town of Oahors,
while Mr. W.H. Stevenson traced it to a commune in
the Somme.* Its stammhaus, however, was the castle of
Ohaources, now Sourches, in the commune of St. Sym-
phorien, not far from Le Mans.* Hence they are here
found bestowing an English endowment (No. 1033) on
the stately abbey of La Couture still standing, as they
knew it, at Le Mans. The baronial house they here
founded ended in an heiress, who, by her marriage with
Henry earl of Lancaster and Leicester, became great
grandmother of Henry lY.^
An interesting discovery results from the charter,
hitherto unknown, of Henry I. to L'Bssay (No, 923)^;
for it proves that the Lincolnshire flef of Robert de Haie
had come to him, through his wife Muriel, by inherit-
ance, and not, as has been alleged,' by Crown grant on
the forfeiture of Picot, son of Oolswegen (the English
thegn) of Lincoln. Is it, then, possible that Muriel was
a sister of Picot ? There is a striking support for such
a view in the fact that Picot's charter to Spalding Priory*

mentions his nephew Eichard, and his niece Cecily ; for
Robert de Haie had a son Richard who succeeded him,
and a daughter Cecily who carried his honour of Halnaker
to the St. Johns.
For the Domesday student there is, probably, no
charter in these pages so important as that which grants
a Dorset manor to a priory of Marmoutier (No. 1206),
liable to the " Guelt quod colligitur per hidas " on four
hides only, because " reliquge sex sunt in dominio et
quiete." The geld-roll of 1084 proves that, in this
manor, 5f hides did escape payment as beiag "in
demesne." The reductions of assessment on Loders,
Dorset, in favour of the abbey of Montebourg (No. 876)
and on Horsley, Gloucestershire, in favour of that of
Troarn (Nos. 468, 472) are also deserving of notice.
In the latter case Henry I. grants anew the reduction
which his predecessor had granted, as if such a concession
was not permanently binding.
The chief value, however, of these documents for the
illustration of Domesday will be found in their mention
of many who appear in the great survey as tenants or
under-tenants. We meet, in the earliest of these charters,
not only with the fathers of those who obtained lands
in England, but with some, like Guihenoc of Monmouth
(No. 1135) and Waleran of Essex and London (No. 1409)
whose heirs had already succeeded them in 1086. The
real interest of the Conqueror's charter in favour of the
abbey of Preaux (No. 318) is found in its confirmation
of Roger de Beaumont's gift of five hides at Arlscott,
Warwickshire. Eor this was the estate entered in
Domesday as : " Ipse comes (de Mellent) tenet in Orla
" vescote V. hidas et S. Petrus Pratellensis de eo"
(2406.). It has hitherto been assumed that the Warwick-
shire fief was bestowed, direct, on the count; but this

charter proves that, in a part of it, and, therefore, possibly
in the whole, he had been preceded by his renowned father
Roger de Beaumont, Roger must have surrendered
his estate here to his son the count of Meulan, before
1080. " ^Ifelmus " appears in Domesday as the previous
tenant at Watlington ; but the " Extone " of the charter
is the " Estone " (Aston, Berks) of Domesday (60) where
we read : " Comes Moriton' tenet Estone et abbatia de
" Pratellis tenet de eo. Anschil tenuit T.E.E.", (" Thorix"
being, in the charter, the previous tenant).
One of the most interesting illustrations of Domesday
is that afforded by tie death-bed gift of Robert son of
Tetbald, "the sheriff," to St. Martin of Sees (No. 655).
To Mr. Eyton belongs the credit of discovering the
importance of this tenant of earl Roger of Shrewsbury.^
He boldly claimed him as " by far the greatest feoffee "
in the earl's Sussex fief, and as the Domesday lord of
the honour of Petworth ; and he further suggested that
it may have been Sussex of which he was the Norman
sheriff. Mr. Eyton, however, was not acquainted with
this instructive charter, which proves the identity of the
Robert who held " Totintune " (Toddington in Lymiuster,
near Arundel) in Domesday with Robert son of Tetbald.
It supplies not only the name of his wife, but the date
of his own death (1087) an event referred to in No. 656.
This date is the more important because Mr. Eyton
held that Robert was still living after 1108, and was
not affected by his lord's catastrophe in 1102. But further,
the last four witnesses to the charter are "Robertus
" de Petehorda presbiter, Corbelinus, Hamelinus, et
" Turstinus de Petehorda." "We have clearly here the
priest of Petworth, the " Corbelinus " who held under
History oj Shropshire II. 266-267.
PREFACE. li
"Robert" in 1086 at Barlavington, the "Hamelinus"
who held of him, similarly, at Burton, and prohahly also
the " Turstinus " who held of him at Greatham. We
may, therefore, identify him with the "Robert" who
appears in Domesday Book as the tenant of these manors,
and thus prove the correctness of Mr. Eyton's happy
conjecture. Nor is this all that we learn, from these
documents, of Robert, for we need not hesitate to say he
is the same as that Robert " de Arundello " who gave land
at Hardham (" Eringeham ") to the Oluniac Priory of
Lewes (No. 1391). Arundel, with which Domesday
connects him, would be his official residence as " sheriff,"
not as Mr. Eyton believed, of Sussex, but, we may infer,
of " the honour of Arundel." Eor a Marmoutier charter
(No. 1205) affords us the striking phrase " sheriff of the
" honour of Pevensey." We may ask ourselves, there-
fore, although such a fact has never yet, it would seem,
been even suspected by historians, whether, in Norman
times, each of the Sussex honours had not its own sheriff.
There are indications to that effect, both for Hastings
and for Lewes.
It is probable that to ecclesiologists, or at least to
hagiographers, the most interesting charters in this
volume are those which restore lost invocations of
churches on the old Welsh border. Specially striking
is that of St. Tadioc, which defied, for a time, identi-
fication, but is evidently now Dixton (St. Peter),
adjoining Monmouth. It seems to commemorate the
(alleged) last British archbishop of York. So too
Rockfield, Mon., which had here St. " Kinephaut " for
its saint, has now St. Peter; while Welsh Bicknor had
then the invocation, not of St. Margaret, but of St.
" Custenin," i.e., of St. Constantino the king (Cystennin
Eendigaid). At Monmouth itself we have a chapel
e 2
lii PREFACE.
dedicated to St. Duellus (No. 1129) whom it would be
perhaps rash to identify. All these interesting invoca-
tions were unknown to Prof. Rees when he wrote his
erudite "Essay on the "Welsh Saints."
A group entry under " Law " will be found in the " Index
Rerum " ; but the attention of students of legal history
may be called to No. 61. The remarkable feature of
this charter is the number of justices present among the
witnesses. In addition to John's own chancellor, Stephen
Eidel, and Richard's justiciar, Geoffrey Fitz Piers, we
have the two-weU known justiciars Hugh Bardulf and
William Briewer, with Robert Fitz Roger, Roger Pitz
Reinfrid, Robert de Witefeld, Otho Pitz William,
Theobald Walter, Thomas de Husseburne, Hugh Peverell,
William Pitz Richard, and Henry de Wichenton, all
of whom acted as justices about this time. Such a record
is probably unique.^ It should also be observed that
in this document William de Roumare is recognised
as earl of Lincoln and Greffrey Pitz Piers as earl of
Essex, the latter style being an anticipation, and the
former a solecism.
A charter absolutely unique in this volume is No. 309
granted by Richard I. at Jaffa, 10 January, 1192. Among
its eighteen witnesses we recognise leading comrades of
the king, Robert earl of Leicester, who heads them, having
been concerned, about a fortnight before, with Andrew
de Chavigny, Henry de Gray, Peter de Preaux and Warin
Pitz Gerold, all of them witnesses, in a desperate affair with
1 There is, however, an unprinted Duchy of Lancaster charter, granting
lands to Henry de Cornhill, towards the close of Henry II.'s reign, which
is witnessed not only by John (as "the king's son") and Eanulf de
Glanville, chief justice, but by nine other officers who acted as justices
about this period, including four of those who witnessed the above charter
(35th Report of Deputy JJieeper, No. 163. Further names occur in
No. 162).
PREFACE. liii
the Saracens,^ But the special importance of the charter
is found in its proof that Richard was present at Jaffa
on the above date, although, following the Itmerarmm,
historians have held that he remained at Beit Nuba till
about January 13, and then reth-ed to Ramleh, whence
he marched towards Ascalon. His presence at Jaffa on
January 10 is irreconciliable with this view.
One of the most difficult questions of chronology
occuring in these charters is that which is raised by the
words : " In veneris die, id est feria septima(sic), feria
" que tunc temporis erat tercia ante Purificationem
" S. Mariae " (No. 1112-3). The right reading is « feria
sexta," as M. Marchegay presumed and as the " Liber
Albus" and the Oxford text prove; but the difiBculty is
that the only year on which Friday could come three days
before the Purification (within the limits possible) is
1075, according to the Monasticon, which date, therefore,
is given in Dugdale's Baronage etc. M. Marchegay,
seeing tliat the charter must belong to the years
1079-1083, declared that 1080 was the only year in
which the 30th January, within this limit, was a Friday.
He must have forgotten that, being leap year, it would
have fallen on Thursday. The 30th was never, therefore,
a Friday within the limits ascertained. The solution
propounded by the editor is that "tercia ante" means
here, as in the Roman Calendar, the second day before.
The true date would thus be Friday 31st January, 1080.
By connecting this document with No. 1114 which
M. Marchegay placed a year later, assigning it to
January 7, 1081, we reverse their order and make them
part of a single episode comprised within the month of
January, 1080, while the actual gift of William de
Briouze belongs to an earlier date. The point derives

some importance from the fact that it throws light on
the movements of the Conqueror and his queen at a time
when they are most obscure. According, indeed, to
Mr. Preeman, it was in this very month (January 1080)
that William was besieging his son at Gerberoy. But he
placed that event a year too late; its true date was
January 1079. Nor is this the only case in which fresh
light is here thrown on the obscure chronology of
William's reign.
In what is now known as "Diplomatic" the most
interesting document, probably, is No. 1423. Although,
at first sight, of singular, indeed extravagant, character,
its very peculiarities tend to prove that the original
charter was genuine. This opinion is based solely on
the masterly paper by Mr. W. H. Stevenson on the
Conqueror's charter in favour of St. Martin-le-Qrand,^
to which this newly-recovered document presents a
remarkable affinity. In the former, William describes
himself as "Ingekici peticioni adquiescens " : in the
latter we read "Ego Ingelricus ad hoc impetrandum
obnixe studui." Allusion may here be made to the
charter immediately preceding (No. 1422), for its men-
tion, not only of the English iBthelings as present at
the Norman Court, but of the Erench king being there
also. This allusion, in a charter, to his exUe is, perhaps,
unique.
The above comments on the documents here calendared

some other quarter.^ But the "Index Rerum" wiU, it

rendered the task impossible. On the other hand, the
Index of personal names has been made a special feature,

Lastly, the editor is anxious to acknowledge the assist-
ance he has received in his researches, especially from
the Archivistes of Erance. M. Dolbet, Archiviste of La
Manche, was good enough to place at his disposal all
the treasures of his Archives, and to give him exceptional
facilities for their study. From the learned and weU-
known Archiviste of the Maine-et-Loire, M. Port, as from
M. Bourbon, Archiviste of the Eure, and M. Chavanon,
Archiviste of the Sarthe, he received help without which
it woidd not have been possible to make this collection as
extensive as it is. In Paris the services of M. Ch. Bemont,
whose name is familiar to English scholars, and M. Couderc, /
of the MS. Department, Bibliotheque Rationale, call for
his grateful recognition. He desires also especially to
thank Sir H. Maxwell Lyte, Deputy Keeper of the

work and for many valued suggestions while it was

taken from the treasure of his church. And even though all
this should fall short of the sum of money he had taken away,
yet his dear canons, moved by their unvarying devotion to him,
have fully forgiven him the balance, etc.

1080. 78. [Memorandum that] at the dedication of the abbey of
Easter. Holy Trinity by Robert archbishop of Rouen and other
(Cartulary, prelates [1030] in the presence of Robert cdunt of Normandy
Tramps!'' ^^^ ^^^ nobles, Gozelin vicomte of Arques, with his wife and
See«tswp7n,p. 462.) sons, gave the abbey, among his other possessions the isle ot
Oscellus otherwise Turhiilmus; which island Isemberb and
Rainer, the first two abbots, had held without challenge.
Under their successor Walter, Gilbert bishop of Evreux made a
claim to this island, which none of liis predecessors bad made,
[and] which reached the king's palace (regia aula). It was
deemed unfitting by king William to listen to any claim to
land which the abbey had possessed so long, namely fifty years,
by his father's gift ; yet, from respect for the bishop, he gave
[permission for] a suit and appointed it to be in his court. In
the year 1080, therefore, at the festival of Easter, king William
and queen Maud and their sons Robert and William being
present, this suit {placituTn) was held, at the king's command,

namely: William archbishop of Rouen, Richard archbishop of
Bourges, Warmund archbishop of Vienne, Geoffrey bishop of
Coutances, Gilbert bishop of Lisienx, Robert the count, brother
of the king, R.obert count of Eu, Guy count of Ponthieu, Roger

Walter and the monks of the abbey should thenceforth hold the
aforesaid island freely and absolutely for all time.

(Cartulary, fo. 2id. Rouen to Henry II. The church of Amanvilla was given long
Trans. 318.) ^^^ ^^ ^^le nuns of St. Amand of Rouen. So long as Roger
bishop of Salisbury held it, he held it at ferm from their
convent. The writer remembers having much communication
with him on account of the trouble he gave them about it.
Now on behalf of [the nuns] his daughters, he begs the king's
highness, of his generosity, to direct that the said church with
all its appurtenances, and with tlie clerk's things, which have
been seized by him, shall be lestored, so that, by his protection,
the flock [of St. Amand] may rejoice in the integrity of their
possessions, and may be left in peace by Ids officers. He will
remember that Pope Eugenius, when he was at Rheims (1148),
heard the complaint of the nuns and ascertained that the bishop
had held the church at ferm only, and at length pronounced
28

[1154-1164.]
sentence of anathema on anyone who should trouble them.
Philip de Columbariis, excommunicated by the writer for laying
hands on the endowment, at length confessed his sins, when
setting out for Jerusalem, gave up the church, and all he had
seized, for the use of the nuns, and so obtained absolution. It
behoves, therefore, the king's majesty to direct that the church
of Amanvilla, with all its appurtenances, should belong to the
monastery of St. Amand. May God long preserve his life and
health.

None of them need answer any charge made by a thief, a

for the wine-due ('modiacio) and if, when the wine reaches Rouen,
the due is offered to the duke's officers and refused, the owner
may sell it freely, after waiting till nine {tercia hora) the next
morning, without forfeiture, saving the duke's rights. None
of them shall wage battle against a champion proved to be
a hireling (conductitiris) by the oath of ten citizens of Rouen,
five of them within the city and fiye of the bov/rg. Tiiese ten
citizens shall be chosen by the justice (justicia). From the
day on which the citizens of Rouen became the men of his
father duke Geoffrey, they need not answer for past words or
deeds on behalf of those who have left Rouen and the com-
mune (comviunione) of Rouen ; and they shall be quit, from
that same date, of all ferms, debts, pleas and other demands.
No one in Rouen shall [have to] entertain anyone except by
direction of the city's own marshal. They may hold their
lands, and their purchases, and their tenures, and their mort-
gages in peace, and he will cause the debts due to them to be
paid within his peace and jurisdiction (justicia). Should anyone
have been disseised since king Henry.'s death, he will cause him
to be re-seised, if within liis peace and jurisdiction. He will
restore to the Serjeants of Rouen their offices {ministeria) as
they held them in the time of king Henry. No one shall be
placed over [in] the mint or the [vi]com,td or in any other
office except of his own accord. He will neither tallage them
nor take their substance, unless offered him of their own good-
will. He will be advised by the citizens as to everything and
all dues, injurious to Rouen, within and without the city,
introduced since the death of king H[enry]. No one shall be
given a password {intersigna accipiat) by the vicomte (vice-

(affidet) to its keeper that he does not pay custom, if the keeper
will not believe him (orediderit)^ otherwise ; and no one shall
give anything to the keeper except of his own accord. The fourth
penny shall not be payable on the wine of any citizen of Rouen
which shall be taken for the duke's ser^ace. None of them
shall pay any custom on wine or anj'thing else brought to the
town which he can declare to be a gift (de presentatione).

Normandy but Rouen, except one only, which may go once a

shall be forfeited to the duke, and half to the men of Rouen.
The customs of Dieppe (Deppa) shall be similar to those of
Rouen in tolls. The men of Rouen who are of the merchant
gild shall be quit of all dues at London save for wine and
porpoise (crasso pisce). They shall also be free to go through
ail the markets in England, saving the king's lawful dues.
And the citizens of Rouen shall have, at London, the port of
Duuegate as they have had from the time of king Edward
with the right (consuetudo) that if they find in that port a ship,
whencesoever it be, they may order it to be removed, and shall
[then] wait a flood and an ebb, and if the ship be not removed,
the citizens of Rouen may, if they will, cut the ropes of that
ship and send her out, without [liabiUty to] claim or penalty ;
and if that ship be endangered by their action, they shall be
responsible to no one. None of the citizens of Rouen shall pay
custom on tailors' goods (pannenteria) at fair or market, coming
or going, on this side of the Seine. Debts and contracts
(conventicmes) made at Rouen shall be discharged there, or, if
denied, shall be answered for there. No merchant shall pass
through Rouen with merchandise, by the Seine, up or down
stream, except he be a citizen of Rouen. No stranger may
discharge wine in[to] a cellar at Rouen.
G[eoffrey] duke of Normandy, his father, declared (a£li-
duciavit) that he would maintain all these concessions and
undertook to make his wife and sons declare [the same] at a
proper place and suitable time.. He (Henry) himself has made
this declaration, and should he haply depart, in anything, from
these concessions, he will make amenda within forty days of
being summoned by the citizens, without infringement of the
agreement (conventio).

wood of Hamode that it should be divided through the middle,
both the wood and the land in which the villeins had dwelt and
which belongs to the wood ; and by the king's command a
hedge (hagia) was made through the middle, and the abbey
and William had their respective shares. As to St. Cuthman's
rights of burial (sepultura) it was decreed that they should
remain unimpaired, and by the king's command the bodies
which had been buried at William's church were dug up (defossa)
by William's own men, and transferred' to St. Cuthman's church
for lawful burial, anil Herbert the dean restored the money
(denarios) he had received for burial, for wakes (wacis), for
tolling the bells {signis sonatis) and all dues for the dead,
swearing, by a relative in his place, that he had not received
more. As to the abbey's land which William had taken for

and it was destroyed. So with the warren he had made on the

it was never given in the time of king Edward ; and, by the
king's command, what had been taken in toll was restored, the
tollman swearing that he had not received more. As to the
ships which ascend [the river] to the port of St. Cuthman
(Steyning) it was adjudged that they should be quit for two-
pence, ascending and descending, unless they should make
another market at William's castle. The road he had made on
the abbey's land was ordered to be destroyed, and was destroyed.
The ditch he had made to bring water to the castle was ordered
to be filled up, and this was done. As to the marsh, it was
decreed that it should be the abbey's {quietum) up to the hill
and the saltpits. The eighteen gardens were adjudged to the
abbey. The weekly toll was adjudged to the saint (St.
Cuthman), saving William's half. For all this William placed

time of king Edward, yet he gives it, with all that the abbey
held in Steyning in his own time. Moreover he gives and
grants to the abbey the manor of Bury (Beriminstre) — for
which he offered a trial and justice to abbot William and his
monks, and which manor remained his^ — in consideration of
their claim against him for their possessions in Hastings in
the time of king Edward ; on the terms that if that manor
is worth more than the rents they had lost at Hastings, he
nevertheless grants them all that manor, with its appurtenances,
rights, and dues, sac and soc ; while if it is not worth so much
he will give compensation to the abbey for that amount.

(Cartulary, fo, I4rf.) 1088. He restores to the abbey of F6camp and William its
abbot, the lands of which it has been deprived (specified)
including the land of the burgesses of Fecamp which his father
had, in wrath, taken from the abbey before the day of his
death. These lands he restores free from exaction and all lay
dues, by the advice and assent {nwtu) of Henry his brother
and other his nobles, who sign the charter.

Afterwards, Robert de Moritania, son of William de Bee, rose
against him and the abbot of Fecamp, and raised a castle
in the very land he held of the abbey, and withheld the
services due from that land. The duke, with the help of God
and his lieges, not only conquered him, but destroyed and burnt
his castle, and gave the land to Goher. The abbot, of whose fee
was the land, hearing this, besought the duke, saying that the
land was ancient demesne of the saint, and that the duke had
restored it with the other lands of the church when he was
about to cross (transire debui) to England. Finding this to be
true, and wishing tlie saint to enjoy his own, the duke came to
Fecamp and restored that land with all else specified in [the]
other charter, and made the gift by [placing] a stick {hoc
ligmwm) in the abbot's hands, and sealed both the charters.
And this he has done lest anyone in future should say that this
land was not of the saint's demesne and that the duke had not
restored it to the abbey.

128. Letter of Theobald archbishop of Canterbury, primate
of England, legate of the apostolic see, to Henry abbot of
Fecamp. He has constantly received complaints from the
brethren of the monastery, which is under the special protection
of the Holy Roman ^Church, that Henry has scattered and
damaged the possessions of the monastery, over which he
ought jealously to watch, by granting them to robbers and
plunderers, during the war that they have suffered from, to the
loss of the said brethren. As legate, it is his duty to support a
monastery thus dependent on the Holy Roman Church. He
therefore enjoins on Henry, by his apostolical and his own
authority, to revoke, with anxious care, the [grants of] goods
and possessions of the monastery which he has unjustifiably
made. As to those who, by his grant or by their own
usurpation, have laid hands on the monastery's possessions.

follows : —
In the year 1164, in the reign of the glorious king of the
English, Henry the second, this concord was made by direction
of the king and by the advice of friends on both sides. The
abbot and convent of F6camp claimed a quarter of the wood
called Dureshurst, in land, and trees, and pannage, and pasture,
and all rents and profits issuing from that wood or land ; they
also claimed half the wood of Perregate, and part of the wood
of Brunnesburi of which the said John was depriving the
abbey. And John claimed a part of the holding which was

ABBEY OF FECAMP.
held by Norman a villein of the abbot. John recognised the
right of the abbey to a quarter of the wood and land of
Dureshurst, to be held by the king in chief freely and peaceably,
so that he was not to take a tree or anything in that wood
without the view and assent of the abbot's servant, while the
abbot was to have one tree, when John had three [but] not
without the view of John's servants. The abbot and cnnvent
were to hold freely half the wood of Perregate, and the tene-
ment of Norman was to be theirs without dispute, as bounded
by Noramn's ditch. John was to enjoy freely that part of the
wood of Brunnesburi which the abbot claimed against him.
That this might hold good, John pledged his faith {affidavit) in
good faith, and Hemeric de Cuella did the same on behalf of
the abbot ; and to make this [agreement] more stable and
lasting, John became a brother of the abbey, and the abbot gave
him fifteen marcs of silver of the abbey's charity.

But, afterwards, on abbot Henry dying, and Ralf de
Argenciis succeeding him as abbot of Fecamp, and John de
Tresgoz dying and being succeeded by his son John, ;i dispute
arose between abbot Ralf and John, son of John, because the
latter was depriving the abbej', against his father's charter, of
its rights in Dureshurst. Thereupon the abbot and convent
claimed their former rights there. John, admitting the truth
of their claim, and constrained by the king's orders and his
friends' advice, restored to the abbey what he had wrongfully
taken, his men pledging their faith. And that all dispute
between the abbey and John and his heirs miglit be set at rest
for ever, abbot Ralf and the convent, and John, with the assent
and by the wish of his brothers Henry and Thomas and his
other friends, had Dureshurst divided into four quarters, so
that the quarter adjoining Tuddestrode remained to be held
for ever of the king by the abbot and monks of Fdcamp, and
the other three by John ; and John quit-claimed to the abbot
and monks for ever all the right that he and his heirs mi»ht
have in that quarter. John de Tresgoz and Philip his uncle
have pledged their faith to the faithful observance of this
agreement ; and so have Peter de Gatewike and William de
Sceldune on the part of the abbot. And, for this confirmation,
abbot Ralf and the convent have given John a hundred shillings
sterling of the abbey's charity, by Michael its monk and
proctor.
That this confirmation may be permanent John de Tresgoz
declares that with the assent and by the wish of his brothers

no appeal. And if they can be convicted as to the charter,
they are to be canonically punished, and no letters obtained
from the apostolic see prejudicial to truth and justice. Let
one [of the three] see to this, if they cannot all be present.
Datum Laterani nonas Junii pontificatus nostri anno sexto.-^
To ensure permanence for their decision, by the authority of
the Pope, in the above case, they execute and seal this rescript.
Having at length secured the presence of the parties, and the
abbot and monks having stated their case, their adversaries,
Laurence and James, showed no ground for rejecting it, but
contumaciously withdrew. The abbot and monks' witnesses
were then admitted, and a day appointed for producing wit-
nesses, a second time, by citations addressed to both the parties.
On the day arriving, the abbot and monks produced their
witnesses a second time, but Laurence and James persisted
obstinately in their contumacy. Out of kindness to them,
in their absence, a third day was named, and they were
summoned. On their renewed contumacy, publication of the
sentence was still deferred, in equity rather than justice, and

to convict them of malice, and yet another day appointed. On
that day, when, neither in person nor by anyone else, did they
appear, their contumacy being sufficiently established, they
[the commissioners] at the entreaty of the abbot and monks,
despatched to Laurence and James, depositions proving the
case of the abbot and monks, with their summons. Laurence
appeared in person on the appointed day, the contumacy of
James was proved, and no ground being shown for suspending
sentence, possession of the said tithes was adjudged to the
abbot and monks, the question of property (proprietas) being
reserved ; and although it was sufficiently established that the
increase arising from them, in the meantime, amounted to
30 marcs, yet in mercy {mitius agentes) it was taxed (per
taaucionerri) at 20, to .which Laurence and James were
condemned.
1203. 146. Notification by R[obert] abbot of Eynesham, E. prior
(Cartulary, of Oseneie,^ and William sub-prior of St. Frideswide's that they
°" '^ ' have received the pope's mandate as follows : —
1202, 21 Nov. Mandate of pope Innocent [III.] addressed to the above. The
abbot and convent of Fecamp have complained that though
they have peacefully, for some time, enjoyed the tithes of
certain wastes (moris) in the vill of Brede and had appealed
to the apostolic see against their being wronged therein,
Laurence, a clerk of the diocese of Chichester, after appeal so
made, had wrongfully despoiled them of the said tithes, which
he withholds. They are to summon witnesses, and to settle
the dispute canonically, allowing no appeal. Witnesses refusing
to appear are to be compelled by ecclesiastical penalties to give
their testimony. Two of them to form a quorum.
Datum Laterani xj. kal. Dec. ponbificatus nostri anno v.
On Michael the monk appearing before them as proctor of
the abbey of F6camp, and Laurence rector of the church of
Brede, the dispute was settled thus : Laurence admitted all the
tithes of the wastes and marshes of Brede to be the right of
the church of Fecamp, and surrendered the said tithes into
their hands, and they by the pope's authority, restored them
to the abbey by its proctor. And the abbot and convent, of
their charity and at the instance of friends, have allowed
Laurence to hold these tithes from the church of Fecamp, for
an annual pension of eighteen pence, so long as he lives, or
until he becomes a monk (ad reHgionem, se transtulerif) and
after his death or admission to a religious house, the abbey
shall receive those tithes. Laurence has done fealty for these
tithes to the abbey before them, and has sworn that he will
make no further claim against the church.

H[enry] the bishop of Winchester. The monks of Jumieges
have lately approached him, imploring him to bear witness to the
truth as to the agreement made, in his presence, between Henry
and them as to the land of Haringeia. He therefore states
simply what he remembers concerning it, saving his [Henry's]
peace. His recollection is that, for the peaceful and quiet
possession of the land, the monks promised him to pay 100
marcs, of which Henry, if he will kindly remember, remitted
20. Of any other undertaking given him, neither Theobald
nor any of those who were present have any recollection. He
bears witness to what he heard. May Henry, therefore, be
pleased to approve what so many witnesses declare to have
been done, and may God grant him eternal bliss.

charity, he presents to the archbishop, by his letters patent and
their bearer, his canons of Brandenest[oc]' to the said church of
Rogierville. As he is hindered by the business of the king his
brother from coming in his own person, he beseeches the arch-
bishop (vos)^ as his dearest lord and father, most earnestly, to
receive, of his charity, the said canons [as parson of] the said
church, if he kindly will, for his [Walter's] weal and that
of all his friends, knowing it to be true that the canons of
Brandenest[oc],^ joyously and most devotedly, share with all poor
folk, in their compassion, such endowments (bona) as they can
acquire; and they will faithfully serve him and his in all
obedience. May his holiness fare well in the Lord.

repayment of his debts from the rent of his land. He prays,

himself, to cause this arrangement to be maintained, should
anyone wish to disturb it. He also notifies him that he makes

be tempted to oppose this his disposition and grant, the king
will rebuke him, and cause WiUiam and his heir to hold that

150 marcs sterling, at 13 shillings and fourpence sterling to
the marc, on the security (sub fidejussione) of P[eter] bishop of
Porto (Portuensis) from certain creditors, whose names are
given in the charters of that surety (fidejussor), he has
appointed J[ohD] canon of Hereford surety and chief debtor
with himself to the said bishop for that debt, so that they both,
with their incomes, lay as well as clerical, are subject to excom-
munication, suspension, and interdict, if the said debt shall not
be paid at the next fair of Troyes (nundinis Treoen') when they
have sworn on the gospels to pay it him. And if it shall not
be then paid, one marc shall increase, on each ten marcs lent,
to be paid, with the debt, at another (alias nundinas). And

and for the [said] penalty and expenses J[ohn] de Solemgn[eio]

He thanks him greatly for so promptly and kindly removing
the interdict from the land of the king of France ; but as the
earl of Leicester, who has suffered much for his loyalty to
himself is detained in captivity because the archbishop has not
yet quitclaimed (quietastis) the king of French for the cause
of the interdict, he begs him for love of himself, and for the
earl's release, to execute letters patent, and to despatch them to
the king of the French, absolving him and quitclaiming the
cause of the interdict — especially as he [Richard] has made him
satisfaction on behalf of the said king — and [assuring him] that
he will no longer demand this of him.

that Peter, in his last moments, specially bequeathed with his
own mouth, certain of his goods, and committed to them the
general disposition of all his other goods. Out of regard for
the weal of his soul, they ordained, concerning his stone house
at Rouen, which belonged to Reginald Buglarius, as follows : the
two daughters of Richard de St. Wandrille were to have a
moiety of the house, and the two daughters of Renold Marecot,
nieces of deceased, the other moiety, as a marriage portion, on
condition that their fathers paid, in return, to them, or to Luke
de Cailly in their place, 20^ pounds [in money] of Tours for the
poor. If they should refuse, Luke de Cailly was to have that
house, paying to the aforesaid nieces of the deceased, 40 pounds
to [the first] two and 40 to [the other] two, saving to the chapter
of the church of Rouen 40 shillings [in money] of Tours to be
received annually from that house for the anniversary of tlie
deceased. On this their appointment being laid before the
fathers of the said girls, Richard de St. Wandrille, refusing the
moiety of the said house, preferred that 40 pounds of Tours
[money] should be counted out (numerari) to his two daughters
in its place ; [but] Renold Marescot preferred to receive pos-
session, on the above condition, of the moiety falling to the share
of his. They have therefore given him possession of the said
moiety in the name of his daughters, and he has subsequently
satisfied them as to the said 40 pounds of Tours [money]. He
will also pay annually to the chapter of Rouen 20 shillings
of Tours [money], for his moiety, towards the anniversary of

with consent of that prince imd of William Maleth in whose
demesne was that land. For this, ahbot Anffrid^ admitted
William Maleth to the fellowship of the abbey. And William
gave the land of a saltpan belonging to him at Harfleur
{Haretfiuce). When William was dead, Kobert his son came
to Pr^aux and confirmed {concessit) his father's gift and re-
mitted the castle-ward (custodias castrorum) which he claimed
(caluTnniando exigebat) from the men of that land. He also-
gave seven measures {ambras) of salt yearly for that saltpan
which his father had given, [and] which the violence of the
sea had broken.
[1066-1087.] 320. [Notification that] in the reign of William I. and by
(Cartulary, fo. 100.) permission of (concedente) Robert^ son of Humfrey [de Vieilles]
a certain knight, Gilbert by name, having no heir, gave to
St. Peter a gift of his whole inheritance, namely all that he
had in the vill of Oonde, in the fields, woods, [and] waters,
with a part of the church there, that he might be made
{quMinus fieret) a monk. He also gave whatever he possessed
by inheritance elsewhere [specified]. After this gift had been
made, it happened that he begot of his own wife a daughter
whom he gave in marriage to Roger de Crucemaris. The said
Gilbert lived in the world (in seculo) many years after this, but
at last became a monk and was buried with the other monks.
When he was buried, Roger de Crucemaris and WiUiam abbot
of Pr^aux and his monks came together, and there was produced
before them the charter where it was written that Gilbert gave
himself and bis possessions to St. Peter of Pr6aux. What need
for more ? After many discussions, Roger besought the abbot
that he might take up (relevaret) the honour of Gilbert from
Roger of Beaumont (Bellemontis) of whom it was held (bene-
ficium erat) and if Roger of Beaumont consented (concederet)
he would gladly thereafter hold (recognosceret) Gilbert's honour
of abbot William.^ Both sides came to an agreement, and the
land was taken up {relevat') by abbot William from Roger of
Beaumont, on the terms (conditione) that the monks should
have half Conde so long as Roger de Crucemaris should live ;
[and] after his death, all that he had there [should be theirs]
entirely except 30 acres of land and [the] house with the court
and the lawn (virida/rio) and two knights, Robert and Roger.
As to what he held elsewhere, with the 30 acres, and the house,
and the two knights,* his heir should take it up (relevaret) from
the abbot or the monks in accordance with the custom of the
land (sicuti mos est terre).
Of this is witness Roger of Beaumont who with his [own]
hand placed the gift of the said honour on St. Peter's altar ;
and, in his presence Roger de Crucemaris similarly put (mis%t)
the gift of it on the altar, and there became the abbot's man in
the presence of Roger of Beaumont.

without malice prepense (odio veteri), he shall, for this, pay
a fine of 18 shillings to the abbot and monks, but if he
be convicted of doing this of malice prepense, he shall pay
40 shillings. If a stranger, in a sudden wrath, strike anyone
within the parish, he shall prove his innocence in the abbot's
court or pay the fine adjudged by that court. If anyone within
the vill of Bee, or without it in the parish, shall be guilty of
deliberate assault, he shall pay 60 shillings. And if the abbot's
men shall see anyone so offending and shall not arrest him they
•'shall either prove in the abbot's court that they could not, or
shall pay, each of them, eighteen shillings. None of the abbot's
men is to enter the vill of Bee, armed by day or by night.
Anyone so found, except he be about to travel on his business

their officers, and [the case is] not to be removed to any other
court except for failure of justice on the part of the court of
Bee. Throughout the parish of Bee the monks shall enjoy all
the pleas of the crown (regias libertates),^ except only rape, for
which secular judges are better fitted (honestius existimus

whenever the parish of Bee has to pay any money, it shall

1185.* 438. [Notification that] Ralf son of Eudo brought a writ of
(MS. lat., fo. 87cf.) the king to the assise at Caen [addressed] to William son of
Ralf, then seneschal of Normandy and to the other justices
{jiisticias) then holding assise (assisas), by vi'hich writ the king
directed them to ascertain (facerent recognosci), by lawful men,
who presented the last parson (personam) deceased* to (in) the
church of Karpik[eit], concerning which there was a di.spute
between the abbess of Caen and Ralf son of Eudo. The abbess
said that the abbey of Holy Trinity had held the church (earn)
since its foundation by gift of king William and queen Mathildis,
and that it was confirmed to the abbey by charters of king
William and of king Henry son of the Empress. On this the
barons of the exchequer, William son of Ralf and the other
justices (justicie) of the king determined at the exchequer
(consideraverunt super scaccarium) that that enquiry (recog-
nicio) ought not to take place nor ought the abbess to plead
concerning that church, which was confirmed to the abbey by
the lords of Normandy. And thus the abbey was quit of Ralf's
claim to that church by judgment of the barons of the exchequer,
at the exchequer (super scaccarium) before William son of
Ralf, William de Mara, Hamo the butler, Robert de Harecort,

so rendering the -word. It may be observed, however, that the phrase " Bepiarum

in both oases, would seem to favour some net, or engine of fishery, rather than a
species of fish.

They have accordingly summoned to their presence Nicolas
who professed (gerebat) himself to be parson of that ciiapel,
and Robert the priest who ministered theie as a vicar etc. . .
. . As neither Robert, nor anyone for him put in an appear-
ance, they decrceJ that the jiroctor of the canoiis should be
placed in possession of the fee they claimed and of the chapel,
saving in all things the possession of Nicolas, etc. Subsequently
on the day appointed for Nicolas to produce his witnesses,
he neither came nor sent anyone to make answer for him.
And when the evidence laid before them by the canons' proctor
had fully prov; d to them that the chapel was the right of the
canons, they called together prudent and honourable men and,
after weighing the matter, adjudged the chapel to the canons
and their proctor by authority of the Pope committed to them,
enjoining on Nicolas silence for ever as to his rights or his
possession.

has been thus settled in his presence. The said Nicolas will
raise no complaint hencefoi'ward against the said canons, or
anyone in possession through them, as to that chapel or its
offeiings, but will allow thcin to dispose of it as they will
without any opposition from iiim am] his successors. And the
canons, for lasting peace, will pay a marc of silver annually to
Nicolas and to each of his successors, rector, for the time being,
of Surten villa, half on January 1, and half on July 1, at
Pierreville. And Nicolas for himself and the church of

an engraving of the " sigillum Phillippe de Eosello " then appendant to it. There are

episcopal rights. [The charter of Rabel, ut supra, is here recited

' The text and treatment of this charter require a special note. The " original,"
transcribed by D'Anisy, is in the liasse, H. 564, which contains, as stated in the
Inventaire Sommaire, two documents. One of these, which the compiler seems to
have overlooked, for he does not describe it, is au Inspeximus of this charter in
1400. The other is the charter itself, now much injured by gall, and in parts
almost illegible. The Inventaire gives a detailed analysis of it, but makes the
singular mistake of converting the benefactors, whose gifts are confirmed, into
witnesses, reading : " Temoins de Guillaume comte de Fouthieu, B. comte de
Leicester," etc. It also omits, among the true witnesses, the name of Robert
^ deHarecort. Lastly, it positively assigns the document, at the outset, to " 1176,"
but dates it at the close, as " vers 1170."
D' Anisy seems to have omitted in his Transcript, without giving any indication of
the fact, the important transactions relative to Roger de Bocquence, {ihe Inventaire
Sommaire reads " de Bachevent " in error] supplied on next page from the Cartulary;
and h» carelessly left out the words " de Harecort " in the list of witnesses, thus
misleading Mr. Eyton, who took " Robert " to be a brother of Godard de Vans
(pp. 22, 342).
Mr. Eyton himself, who assigned the charter, by a slip, to " St. Stephen's abbey
at Caen," held that it belonged to the end of 1156 or beginning of 1157.
Reference to his work wiU show that the witnesses fairly suggest that date. But
the name of Godard de Vans is the only real evidence, and that not conclusive.
The date is of importance, for if the charter belongs to 1156-7, it^ mention of the
22 L

tallies, aids, cartages (carriagiis), murages, and scutages, carry-

The abbot and monks are to enjoy therein all his own rights,
save the pleas of the sword (de spata); and all their food and
raiment is to be quit throughout his land of England and
Normandy and the comUs of Anjou and of Maine, especially in
sea-ports, from all dues, etc., under penalty of ten pounds. He

(Lat. 11,055, firms to the abbot and monks of St Evroul their possessions

[specified], also their privileges. And he confirms to the abbot
and monks the agreement between them and Roger de
Bauchenci, their knight, made in his presence, concerning a
mill at St. Evroul. And because a duel was waged (vadiatum)
between them concerning the services due from Roger to the
abbey for a knight's fee (feodum unius lor ice) at Bauchencay
and St. Nicholas and for a vavassoria of land, that duel has been
settled (concordatum) before him and Richard de Humeto his
senescal of Normandy in his Exchequer (Eschelcwrio) at Caen,
as follows : — Roger is to serve the abbot and monks, for the
knight's fee, with horse and arms in the king's host as often
as he shall be summoned by them at the king's commands, and
shall serve them also for tlie vavassoria. He also grants a
general confirmation of their possessions.

(Footnote — continued. )
Norman exchequer (which was not known to Mr. Eyton) was an exceptionally
early one. Much turns on the style of " seneschal " given to Eichard da Hommet.
Mr. Ejton, not unnaturally observed "read Constable," but that portion of the text
which was not known to liim, assigns to Eichard both the style and the position
of Seneschal, and D'Anisy had correctly copied the word. We know from a
Mont St. Michel document (No. 716) that Robert de Neufbourg was the Dapifer
(i.e , Seneschal) of all Normandy in 1157, and presided as such "in assisa apud
Cadomum " ; while he and bishop Arnulf had been jointly in office in 1155. It is
therefore highly improbable that Richard could have styled himself Seneschal in
1156-7, though he may have done so for a while at a later time, cf. No. 643.
This charter has a special value as being the only one now remaining in the
archives, by which can be tested the highly suspicious " Teste me ipso " of the
king, whicli heads the list of witnesses in some of the St. Evroul charters
(Nos. 628, 642-3) entered in the Cartulary. It is clear, from this document, that the
phrase was not an invention of the Cartulary scribe ; but the fact of its occurrence
in the documents themselves must throw the very gravest donbt on their authenticity.

Normandy. At the earnest request of Ranulf abbot of St.
Michael's monastery, he grants that house (locus) the mill of
Veim, which his father Robert had given it, but which abbot
Suppo had wrongfully sold to Ralf the moneyer, the monks
opposing it. On Ranulf succeeding as abbot, it was ascertained
and decided in his [the duke's] court that the mill ought to
belong to the monks of St. Michael. He grants, therefore, that
this mill, which is called the count's mill, shall belong to St,
Michael for ever, for the sustenance of his monks. He appends
with his own hand, to secure this gift, the sign of the cross.

was bought from him at a high price, before many witnesses,
duke William confirming [the purchase] in the presence of his
lieges as lecited (in No. 711 supra).
[1076.] Some fifteen years, more or less, later, when king William
had ascended the throne of England, the said John suddenly
claimed the mill and seized it without making any proof of
his right, abbot Ranulf vigorously resisting, and informing
the king of the wrong done to St. Michael and himself.
At length both parties were summoned before the king's
court, in which sat many of the nobles of the land, of whom
Geoffrey bishop of Coutances was delegated by the king's
authority as judge of the dispute, with Eanulf the vicomte,
Niel son of Niel, Eobert de Vezpunt, and many other capable
{ample opinionis) judges, who diligently and fully examined
the origin of the dispute, and delivered judgement that the mill
ought to belong to St. Michael and his monks for ever. The most
victorious king William approved and confirmed this decision
(diffi,nitionem),comma,nded that it should be set forth in writing,
and gave it validity for ever by these words, affixing his sign :
" I, William, by the grace of God, king of the English and
" prince of the Normans, confirm by this sign of the holy cross,
" the decree of my above-named nobles that the count's mill,
" which abbot Eanulf redeemed, with my approval, from
" Gualeran, should belong for ever to St. Michael for the suste-
" nance of his monks. And none of my successors nor any
" abbot nor monk of the Mount shall have power to alter this
" which has been settled by me and mine."

half hi's land of Poterel, which he held of the abbot in free
service (liberali servitio) to which the abbot has assented. The
abbot afterwards bought the other half from a certain Eoger
for two pounds in money of Le Mans, in the sight and hearing
of many etc The abbot, treating the land as
demesne, made of it a farm (medietariam) for the use of the
abbey. One day, long afterwards, the above Eoger came across
the swine of St. Michael and wickedly killed the swineherd
(subulcv/m) at the instigation of the devil. Abbot Eanulf
instantly appealed to the count of Normandy, who straightway
banished Eoger from Normandy. Eoger, after some time
unable ' to bear exile, repeatedly begged and implored the abbot
to make his peace with the duke and allow him to be reconciled,
on condition of his abjuring (forsjuraret) the land of Poterel, for
^ Eobert did not become bishop of S&es, it seems, till 10.70, when John bishop
of Avranohes was dead. His name, therefore, throws some doubt on the charter.
Yet the epact and concurrent point to the early part of 1166, so that Robert may
be a scribe's error.

length by the counsel of the monks and of the barons of the
abbey (ecclesie), he met him in the presence of duke William
on a fixed and appointed day. The agreement was there re-
corded (recordato) and mutually granted and confirmed before

[1070-1081.] 714. Recital (Hcec [sic] carta narrat) of the agreement
(.Cartular)', fo. 95.) made at Bayeux, before the queen, between the abbot of Mont
St. Michel and William Paynel {Paganellum). If William has
to fight (habet guerram) for that land which the king
of the English gave him (sibi) with his wife, the agreement
is that Hugh de Bricavilla shall do him, for forty days,
[service] of ward or custody (de guarda vel custodia) with six
other horsemen at his own cost (sese septimuTn de caballaribus
ad suum cibum). And Hugh's nephew (nepos) shall do like-
wise if he shall hold that land " in parage," according to what
he holds. Again, if William shall summon that Hugh, he
shall have him, with two knights, in his company (familia), at
his own cost, or his son, if he shall be free from the abbot's
summons. Nor shall the abbot always prevent William from
having this.^ And he shall so (ita) have in his company
Hugh's nephew and Robert de Cantelupe and William Becheth
and the man (ilium) who shall hold the honour of Scollant.
And if he [William] shall hold a plea (vindictam seu placitum)
he shall have for constituting his court (ad faciendum) the
men he holds of St. Michael, so that they be at their own
homes (dom,os) by evening. And if they are in default to him
for the services here defined (divisa) they shall make him
amends XrectuTn sibi facient) at a manor (m,ansionum,) he holds
of St. Michael. From the land he holds of St. Michael he shall
receive aid for the [redemption from] capture of his body, or
for [the redemption] of his land, if he forfeit it to the king or
the abbot,-or for [his] son by this (hujus) woman, should he be
captured in the service of the king or of the abbot, of whom is
[held] the &e{ (fedus), or for the marriage of one daughter only
by this (hoc) woman. It is agreed that William Paginellus

sball, in the land he holds of the abbot appoint one man to
whom the abbot shall send for the summonses which he has [a
right] to make in the land that William holds of him. If the
summonses are duly made, and he who has notice does not
come, the abbot shall receive the penalty (forisfacturam,);
but if the summoner omit to make the summons, he shall pay
eighteen shillings to the abbot, who shall thenceforth make the
summons by a messenger of his own. It is agreed that William
Paginellus shall yearly receive twelve oaks, chosen by himself
(ad suuTTi cois) in the wood of Longueville (longa villa) as far
as the water called Ars, and he shall not have more than
twelve, except by the abbot's consent (per abbatem). It is
agreed that the abbot shall give him yearly provision (proven-
dariv/ni) of wax, or twenty shillings ; and it is in the abbot's
choice {cois) to give him which he prefers ; and this [is] for the
reliefs (relevationibus) of Cantelupe and for the pasture of
Lalande, if the men of Cantelupe can prove their right to it
(illam de raisneer) in the court of William Paginellus of
Lanidande which William Paginellus claims in fee {interrogat
in fedo). When it comes in Mont St. MicheP it is respited {in
respectu) until [it comes] before the king. It is agreed, con-
cerning the seven peers {paribus) of the honour which William
Paginellus holds of the abbot, that he shall summon them in
his [own] court. If they are willing to go {ambulare) of their
own accord, they shall go if they are free from the service of
the abbot. If they are unwilling to go (ire), William Paginellus
; must prove {de raisneer) this in the abbot's court by tenants of
the honour which he received with his wife, who have seen
them in his service by the custom due from their predecessors
{consuetudinem antecessorum suorum).

the vavassours in the Honour of St. Patemus and the Honour
of Genecium. The monks of St. Michael, hearing this, prayed
to God to have pity on their house and to avenge them swiftly
on such a wrongdoer etc. Hearing this, Thomas, in horror,
hastened like a madman to the' Mount, with his brothers John
and Roger and a great company, and enquired of the monks
why they were clamouring to God against him and his brethren.
On the monks fearlessly replying, because he had wasted their
woods and wrongfully seized their lands, he, by the counsel of
his brethren and of the leading men (proceres) who were with
him, threw himself with all his company at the foot of abbot
Roger and the monks, humbly begging them to have pity on
his brethren and himself, and allow them to be reconciled on
fair terms arranged by friends. The abbot, by counsel of the
monks, compassionately enquired- on what terms he and his
brethren were willing to be reconciled, as they could not absolve
them nor cease their clamour unless they gave up absolutely
everything they had seized. Thomas replied : " I will leave all
" the demesnes of the church in peace, lovingly, and only ask you
" to grant me and my brethren the service of those tenants
" (homines) who are our blood- relatives, saving [their watch
" and] ward at the Moimt, and you shall have the multure, and
" toll, and tailleg, and aids of their men, and such other services
" as are due to the over lord (Tnajori d/ymino). Only let the
" knight service (servitia Tnilitum) be granted to me and I wiU
" perform [their] service to you, and all else shall be yours.
" With my brethren, I beg you specially to grant me the service
" of these lands : in the Honour of St. Pair, the land of
" Rainald Coquus, on condition that if his heir should call on
" me to do so, I will restore it him, saving his personal service.
" Ralf Malregard on, going to Apulia mortgaged his land to a
" nephew of ours, Ralf de Port, for 12 marcs of silver, and now
" our friends have discussed it, and we have agreed, so that he
" has received from me 12 pounds [in money] of Le Mans for
" the land on the terms that when the son of Ralph Malregard
" is of an age to hold and administer (regere) his land, on my
" pledged faith and that of ray brethren, neither by force nor
" by evil device, will we or any heir of ours detain that land,
" but will promptly restore it, without question, on the said
"12 pounds being repaid to us or our heirs, and, for further
" security, I and my brethren swear of our own accord, on the
" Holy Gospels that we and our heirs will keep this under-
" taking. I have held till now, in wardship (enstodia) the land
" of Roger de Grandivilla, because he was my squire (armiger),
" but now [that] he is made a knight, in your pj-esence and'
" that of all these, both monks and laymen, I restore it to him,
" for I well know that, like the other barons of the abbey, he
" ought to serve the abbots; and in consideration of this I
" most huinbly implore you to grant me the service of Robert
" son of _ Ivo, retaining for yourselves the dues of all his men.
" William de Pomeria and Stephen de Tabula have made

ABBEY OF MONT ST, MICHEL. 261
" whom I counsel to do you homage for their service and to

" monks and pay you tithe, multure, tollc, [and] aids, because
" we would not diminish the dues payable to this abbey to
" which we owe our bringing up and subsistence." Then Roger
arose and did homage to the abbot, and, on the Holy Gospels,
swore to be faithful to the abbey, and in no way to deprive it of
its dues or seize its lands. " In the honour of Genecium, I
" Thomas have mortgaged (invadimoniavi) the land of Getbo
" at Poterel on the terms that if the abbot and monks should
" repay me four pounds in money of Le Mans, they shall enjoy
" it in peace. Niel the priest, when leaving for Jerusalem
" (habiens jer'm}) mortgaged his vineyard to me for one marc
" of silver on the terms that if the monks of the abbey were
" willing to redeem it from me or any of my^ heirs they should
" enjoy it in peace, and while it is iu my hands or those of my
" heirs, the land-due (terrageum) shall be most fully and lawfully
" paid both from it and the other vineyards of my tenants {rusti-
" corum), nor shall the wine ever be removed till the land-due
" has been brought to St. Michael's winepress (thorcular), I
" restore to you the toll of Dune which 1 had unjustly usurped
" and seek your pardon for my wrongdoing therein ; also the land
" of Rainald de Monastero having learnt that I was persuaded by
" perfidy to accept (reoiperem) it ; also the land of Garonbert,
" having learnt for certain that Robert FitzHaymon gave it to
" the abbey for the weal of His soul when he became a monk
" (ad monaekatuTn venit). I beg you to grant me the land of
" Theobald ' liber/ which Hugh de Inferno holds of me, because
" I receive (habeo) ten shillings yearly from him, which I am
" unwilling to lose. I relinquish to you certain meadows,
" below the vineyards of Briun, which that Hugh wrongfully
" placed under my protection (patrocinio), having ascertained
" for certain that they are of St. Michael's demesne."
Thomas came again, another day, to the Mount with the
bishop of Avranches and many other barons, approaching the
abbot and monks [with the request] that they would kindly
receive his homage, which they did. Then he said:." I confess
" my lords, that I ought, by custom, to pay 20 shillings in
" money of Le Mans, yearly, for the land of Lambert the
" goldsmith, and that of Rainald son of Serlo, at the fair
" (nvrndinos) of Montmartin. If you would alter this
" (alternaretis), and admit my father and mother, myself
" and my brothers to [share] the benefits of this abbey, I
" would most faithfully guard, without any claim to inheritance
" for myself or my heirs, your wood, which, at present, is
" wholly destroyed, and would grant you instead (variando)
" the land of Doblellus which renders me 8 quarters of wheat,
" and all the wheat round about (in circuitu) the wood, as is

" accustomed, and from the men who dwell round the wood,
" and from the lands (landis) if ever they should be cultivated
" (lucrate^) and from the mill of Haie to your granary." To
whom the abbot and monks replied : " Since the children of
" this world, as saith the Lord, are wiser than the children of
" light, we should make you partakers of the benefits of this
'■' abbey (ecclesie) and would exchange these 20 shillings, as you
" desire, and would lovingly grant you all you ask in death and
" in life, if we did not believe that we are being deceived by
" your false and fraudulent words."
Then Thomas arose, and his brethren with him, and in the
presence of the bishop and the whole convent received the
benefits of monks at the abbot's hands, with the gospels (cum
textu evangelii) and promised with a kiss faithfully to observe
all this agreement, and Thomas quit-claimed absolutely the
land on which the wood stood and declared that neither his
heirs nor his brethren should seek to regain possession. This
he testified (testamentum factum est) in the chapter house of
the abbey, in the time of abbot Roger and, afterwards, when
he returned from captivity at Gorram, before the most pious
and glorious king Henry at Argentan, Richard being abbot.^

1136. After the death of Eainald, who made this gift, his son
Philip (Philipphus), led astray by the counsel of certain wicked
men, took away, so far as he could, the gift his father had made
with his own consent. At length, by God's grace, he repented,
and with a contrite heart appealed for pardon to the mercy of
God and St. Michael and of abbot Bernard and the whole
chapter. One day, of his own accord, he came to Mont St.
Michel to pray, with his mother Lucy and his brethren Humfrey
and Godfrey and certain of his men, and, with his mother and
brethren, freely restored and granted the whole endowment his
father had granted, and added, of his own, the tithe of his mills
and two sites (plateas terre) in Jersey, outside his court, in a
suitable spot, and one at Carteret, outside, in a suitable spot, and
all the endowment of St. Germain. For this, and for his fresh

The abbot, in his wisdom, by counsel of the bishop, and with the
approval (suffragio) of earl Ranulf (Ranulfi^) and [the] barons,
arranged for thirteen brethren, making sufficient provision for
their needs out of the previous endowments of the church,
and those given in his presence by neighbours (viris provincie).
He also appointed that the prior chosen by the abbot of Mont
St. Michel should, in person or by one of the brethren, pay 16
marcs annually [to the parent house.] If he acted in contra-
vention of this appointment, or set himself against the abbot and
convent, in anything, he was to be degraded from his office, and
replaced by one chosen by the abbot with the convent's advice.
If he should be proud and contumacious, and disobedient to the
prelates of the Norman Mount, he should lose all share in the
benefits of that house, and be excommunicated by all churches
in union with it. As to the brethren who might enter the
community in Cornwall, they should go to Mont St, Michel to
receive the benediction, as monks, from its abbot, unless he

and explaining that the difficulty and danger of the sea
[journey], with the intolerable war and his ill-health, ■which is
worse than usual, prevent him from visiting the bishop. They
have all come to the conclusion that they cannot administer
the church, in his diocese, which they undertook at his request ;
and he who offered them the endowment is dead, and his heirs,
as the bishop knows, disinherited. Moreover, they are unable
to implead (placitare) as they are summoned to do by the
bishop ; and the endowments of the church are being scattered
abroad.^ They implore him, therefore, to see to it that the
church be not debased to secular use. They grant it, so far as
they are concerned, to abbot T. (sic) and those serving God
[with him], to hold, by the bishop's advice.

becoming worse, felt death approaching, he granted that land,
by consent of his wife, who was present, to St. Michael and his
monks for ever, for the love of God and the redemption of his
soul. Of that gift his confessor is witness ; and it is allowed by
his daughter A^elis and by Richard, the husband of his other
daughter, on behalf of his wife.

desolate, from the long war, and its demesnes squandered, Robert
de Sancto Pancratio, then prior in England for St. Michael,
strove strenuously, with his companions, to regain the demesne
lands for St. Michael's use. And as the nibnks had no mansion-
house of their own in that manor, he and they so prevailed
on Fulchard son of Orgar that Orgar quitclaimed the house
(masura) in which his father had dwelt, by the river Hart
(Erti), and the monks there made St. Michael's hall (halla).
And Fulcard received in exchange a ferling and 4 acres of
demesne land, quit of all dues to the monks, and five shillings
of St. Michael's money at the hand of Robert de Mont-Sorel.

In the same year, when abbot Robert wished to have a trial by-
battle (tenere unum duelVwrn) for {de) the honour of St. Pair at
Mont St. Michel, and William de Sancto Johanne forbade it to
be held (duceretur) outside that honour, the abbot laid the case
(ostendit hoc verbum) before Arnulf, bishop of Lisieux and Robert
de Novo Burgo, who were the king's justices, in assize, at Dom-
front, and it was adjudged by decision {consideratione) of the
king's court that all the barons of Nonnandy who held in chief of
the lord of Normandy, as did the abbot of Mont St. Michel,
could, if they would, bring to their chief residence all trials by
battle, even from their most remote lands. And thus the abbot
proved his case.

1156. In the year 1156 ..... abbot Robert crossing to Gersoi,
made Roger son of Ranulf , who gave an acre of land, a monk ;
and Osbert his son, mortgaged all his land for six years for
17 pounds of Anjou, to Rualend the monk, who had charge of
St. Michael's land in the island.

1157. In the year 1157, when abbot Robert had come to England,
he took in[to] his hands six islands (insulas) which four men
held at two shillings rent. In them were nearly 20 acres,
what with wood and meadow.
In the same year abbot Robert granted to Adam the priest
the church of Erticumbe for 40 shillings, releasing the tithe of
the demesne, and for the tithe of a ferling, though {cum) his
predecessor had the whole tithe both of the demesne and of the
villeins (rusticis) with the whole church for six years.
In the same year, at Otterton (Otrintonam) he demised to
Nicholas the priest, for a right of way through his land between
the gardens of St. Michael, two pence of rent (de gablo terre)
from the demesne.
Testes : Alricus prepositus ; Jordanus de Bordelai ; Rasa.
In the same year, when the abbot had returned from England
and had come to king Henry at Mortain (Moretoliwm) and had
complained to him that his officers at [SouthJHampton had
exacted pontage for his horses at that port he most graciously
freed the actual property of the abbot and monks of Mont
St. Michel from all due, toll, passage and pontage, throughout
his realm, both in England and Normandy. ^(And he gave abbot
Robert a charter to that effect, of which this is the transcript : —
Writ of Henry II. addressed to all his officers of England and
Normandy and the seaports. All the property of the monks of
St. Michael, declared to be their own by their men, is to be free

lawful men whether in the time of king Henry his grandfather
the men of St, Michael at Britavilla and Versun and the men
of the monks and nuns of Caen brought the king's hay, as
Eobert earl of Gloucester made them do after king Henry's
death, or whether it was brought at the king's cost. When
Robert, porter of thecastle, Ralf de Leun, Humfrey de Bumel-
villa, and Fulk de Herovilla, who were demesne Serjeants of
the king, had sworn, the evil custom was discontinued by the
good prince (studio pii principis decicUt), and the men of
St. Michael were relieved of it, and consequently the men of the
monks and nuns of Caen. And it was directed that the hay
should be brought at the king's cost, as had been sworn.

his discovery of them, beneath a thick layer of dust, in a garret of the sous-
prefecture at Mortain. A portion of them have since been removed to St. Lo, and
placed in the Departmental Archives, but many had been previously selected for
the Archives Nationales at Paris, where they are now preserved in S^ie L About
a dozen, however, appear to be not forthcoming now at either of, these depdts. It
has, therefore, been deemed desirable to retain D'Anisy's references to the whole as
formerly existing at Mortain, while giving in footnotes, where they can be identified,
the present place of their deposit. The Collection is particularly rich in early seals.
The very fine cartulary of the abbey, now at St. Lo, has been examined by the
editor; and several additional documents supplied ftom it. D'Anisy does not
seem to have made use of it, though he copied two charters &om a Transcript of it

[? 1148, Nov.] 813. Letter from Hugh archbishop of Rouen and Arnulf
(Original in archives bishop of Lisieux to their dear brethren in Christ Peter and
C^n^arTiasd. *^ie convent of Furnese. The letters which Peter brought
Trans. Vol. III. from the Pope^ directed that on the following (prima)
fo. 64.) Michaelmas they were to hear the case depending between the
abbot of Savigny and himself and to decide it canonically. It
was also laid down that before the Pope would absolve him
from the excommunication binding him he had to swear that he
would do his bidding. But he had greatly delayed his return
on the plea of sickness and had first visited the king of
, Scotland, and the archbishop of York to take to them the
Pope's letters and injunctions. At his request, they had post-
poned the case to Martinmas, and transmitted by him to
the abbot of Savig-ny their letters [to that effect]. At
Martinmas the abbot of Savigny, with many abbots and many,
as they believe, religious and honest persons came before them
and presented himself as ready to pursue his case. Peter
neither came nor sent anyone to act for him. When some
days had elapsed, as he failed to make an appearance, the
abbot of Savigny produced king Stephen's charter, proving the
gift of Furness abbey to the abbey of Savigny, and the Pope's
bull confirming it. Many religious persons, as they had
observed, being there, the holy gospels were brought into the
midst, and abbots, priors, and many other religious persons
testified together, on the word of God, that they had seen the
abbey of Savigny invested with the abbey of Fumess and in
possession of it up to Peter's time. Having received their testi-
mony, and Peter having made default throughout, they gave
judgment and restored the abbey of Furness to the abbey of
Savigny. They command him, therefore, and all the brethren
of Fumess, by the authority of the Pope, who has committed
this case to them, to obey henceforth the abbot of Savigny and
his abbey, and wholly to desist, at the sight of this letter, from
their presumptuous rebellion, and to allow the abbot of Savigny
free power to dispose of the property and possessions of Furness
according to his will and choice .... Unless they do
so within fifteen days after receiving this mandate, they and all
who may obey them are placed under excommunication ; and on
behalf of the Pope, whom they represent, the writers grant the
abbot of Savigny permission to excommunicate them and their
accomplices.

(Original in archives the monks and lay brethren of Fumess. Obedience and humilitj'-

Peter, they have heard it, with the assistance of many religious

[?1148.]
and honourable persons, and as, on the appointed day, Peter
neither appeared, nor had anyone there to act for him, the
abbey of Furness was adjudged and restored to the abbey
of Savigny by decision of the persons present. After this
came the Pope's mandate (preceptuTn apostolicwm) that Peter
and they should promptly return to the obedience of the abbey
of Savigny and should not again withdraw from it. Moreover,
if they refuse, the Pope directs bishop Amulf and himself to
excommunicate them and pronounce on them sentence of
anathema. Peter has obeyed the Pope's mandate and has
submitted himself obediently to the direction of the abbot of
Savigny. They command them, therefore, in the Pope's name,
to do likewise without any delay. If they do, they are
absolved on behalf of the Pope ; if not, they are under sentence
of anathema.
[? 1148.] 815. Letter of Hugh archbishop of Eouen to Henry arch-
(Originai in archives bishop of Tork and all the chapter. That which is canonically
Trans *Vol"ill ^^^ ^igbtly done, should be faithfully observed for ever. Their
fo. 66.) lord. Pope Eugenius, has been pleased to commit to himself and
his worshipful brother Amulf, bishop of Lisieux, the dispute
between the abbots of Savigny and of Furness, and has in-
structed them to act for him in that matter. By his direction
they appointed them a day. The abbot of Savignj' failed not
to appear on that day with his muniments ; but Peter of
Furness neither came nor sent any one to act for him. They
made the abbot of Savigny wait several days ; but at length,
Peter delaying, the abbot of Savigny set forth his case, and the
state of the matter in their midst, saying that the abbey of
Furness, from its first foundation, was built at the cost and
expense of the monastery of Savigny, and that they long
possessed it in peace. As witnesses thereof he put forward six
abbots of his order who said it was so, and joined in proving it
before the holy gospels. This having been done, possession was
adjudged to the abbot of- Savigny, and they invested him, on
behalf of the Pope, by ecclesiastical decision, with the abbey and
its appurtenances. After some days, the above Peter of Furness
arrived, and demanded that the case, already, as they have said,
decided, should be heard anew. While he was striving for this,
there arrived letters from the Pope, directly charging Peter to
obey the decision and to submit himself to the abbey of
Savigny or incur excommunication. Peter, overpowered by
this severity, admitted that he owed obedience to the abbey
of Savigny, and delayed not to return to it as an obedient son.
They desire to set forth the true state of the case, that those
whom they address may know the truth, and decline to believe
anything contrary thereto that they may hear, and that they
may uphold the abbey of Savigny in its rights as determined by
authority of the Pope ; and that they may execute ecclesiastical
justice on anyone setting himself against this decision.

the monks of Savigny are to possess the tithes of the demesne
of Belinton for ever, paying thence annually to the prior and
monks of Swavesey, thirty-two shillings on St. James' day ;
and in default of payment, the prior and monks of Swavesey
shall collect these tithes, and after paying themselves in full,
including the expense of collection, shall promptly and without
question, restore the balance, to the proctor of the brethren of
Savigny. The abbot and convent of St. Serge and the prior and
monks of Swavesey are to warrant these tithes to the monks
of Savigny for ever against aU men, and give them authority
to collect them. This settlement they have approved the more
readily as they have inspected the assent of the abbots and
convents of St. Serge and Savigny expressed in their sealed
letters patent.

2 tags for seals abbot of Savigny and John abbot of Furness, which he has
in both.) delegated to the writer. He has summoned their priors and
co-abbots and diligently investigated the matter, and carefully
heard the arguments on both sides. The abbot of Savigny
asserted that the gift was manifestly made, in the first instance,
to his house, and that Gerold its first abbot, who had been a
monk of Furness, had been appointed to its rule by the chapter
of the abbey of Savigny. He added that the said abbot under-
took the charge of that house, in their chapter, as a special
subject of the abbot of Savigny, and remained in subjection to
him to his death, and that the present abbot Roger has hitherto
followed in his predecessor's footsteps. The judges weighing
these allegations thought that, if they were proved, they would
overthrow the contention of the abbot of Furness that the gift
of the house was made to his monks. As the latter could
produce no .suitable witnesses, they decided to hear those whom
the abbot of Savigny produced, and whom even the abbot of
Furness admitted to be suitable, and to accept their testimony.
When they had given proof of their statements according to
the custom of the order of Savigny, the judges awarded to the
house of Savigny the subjection of the abbot of Byland, and
the abbot of Furness received this sentence with all humility
and benevolence.

dearest friends in Christ the abbot of Lessay and the convent.
Their monk, brother G.,^ brought him their letter begging

prior of Boxgrave. Satisfied of their right and of his suitability
for the post, by their letter and by the testimony of prudent
men, he has canonically instituted him to the office of prior,
which was resigned into his hands and theirs by the previous
holder, and has given him the administration of all the priory's
possessions. He hopes God may bless his rule, and he begs to
share in the prayers and good works of their house.

monks of Boxgrave he has been there to see what needed
improvement according to the rule of St. Benedict, and to
correct it in his care for the churches of God. He found there
some who were contentious and frequently stirred up strife
among the brethren ; others who, although they had long worn
the monastic garb in that priory, and to whom its offices
(obedientie) even have for long past been entrusted, have not
yet (nondum^) made their profession ; while some are under his
sentence of excommunication for their contumacy. Therefore
he has decided to amend everything with the assent and
[goodjwill of their prior, whom he believes to be an honest and
faithful man, having taken counsel with prudent men, as
follows : Those who are contentious and quarrelsome are to

they are fully professed according to the said rule, under penalty
of excommunication pronounced by him in their chapter. And
the monks have been enjoined, in virtue of their position, to
render their due reverence and obedience towards the abbej'
and its prior. Those monks who have long assumed the
monastic garb, and have not yet^ made their profession, and
though often warned by the [abbey and the prior to go to the
abbey [for the purpose], have refused, have been ordered to do
so and to undergo due penance for their neglect, in this matter,
of their rule. As to those who are excommunicated, lest the
brethren of the abbey should contract from them the stain of
excommunication, he has ordered them to make due satisfaction
according to the rule of St. Benedict, and obtain absolution from
himself without delay. He sends their house, for which he has
a special affection, this report of what he has settled, and he
grants them power, by his episcopal authority, to correct fully
what is wrong in their said house and to make disposition
therein according to the rule of St. Benedict.

Matildis his wife, and Robert count of Maine and Richard his
brother, and Hugh de Monteforti, and Robert Bertranus, and
Robert Guemon, and William de WauviUa, and William his
son, and Eudo. Three canons were appointed, Robert son of
Teolf, Turulf, and Walter, whom the count named, while lying
ill, at Cherbourg when he vowed that he would establish
canons in St. Mary's church, if God and St. Mary would raise
him from his sickness, when his life was wholly despaired of

gave the canons of that church the relics of the saints which he
carried [about] in his own chapel. When he was recovered and
rejoiced at his restoration to health, in order to" fulfil his vow
to St. Mary, by whose intercession he believed he had been
miraculously restored to life, he caused her church to b
dedicated, and was present thereat, and gave it, for endowment
a carucate (quadrugatam) of land in Jersey (Gersoia), for the
canons in common, and ordered another church to be constructed,
without the fortress, and to be begun at his own cost, the countess
Matildis giving towards its foundation a hundred shillings and
the count exchanging land at the churchyard, two feet for one,

1120. 997. Notification that the monastery in Wales (de Galis),
(Original in archives, in the diocese of St. David, in the parts of Cameis, near the
p" 49.) " ^" ancient cell of St. Dogmael, not far from the bed of the
Teifi (ah alveo Thevi fiuminis), founded in honour of St. Mary,
was a cell of the monks of St. Sauveur, Tiron, where many
brethren dwelt under a prior; but because Kobert son of
Martin, who was then lord of that land under Henry most
excellent (pptimo) king of the English, besought of abbot
William and the convent of Tiron, for the honour and glory of
Holy Church, that an abbot should be established in the said
priory, this was granted, by God's providence. And the king
himself and his son William and the above Robert granted
such liberty to the said abbey of St. Mary, Cameis, that
neither the king himself nor his nobles, nor his or their
successors should exercise any secular power therein. Also, the
king, and his son William and the above Robert and the abbot
then first elected- there and his monks granted that every
future election of abbots of Cameis and of all places thereto
subject, should they themselves found (instituerint) abbeys,
should belong to the abbot of Tiron and [his] whole convent, for
ever, William de Albigneio and Othoer/ son of the earl, being
witnesses, at Sainte Vaubourg {Sanctam Walburgam). Should
any abbot of St. Mary's, Cameis, or of places subject to it,
lead an unbecoming or secular life — he or his monks — or depart
from the humble garb of Tiron (nostre) or its (nostris) other
religious institutions, he is to be removed, and another, who is
worthy, appointed in his place. Care is to be taken that none,
in any wise, incur the crime of simony, whether from eagerness
for honour or blinded by avarice ; and should anyone do so,.
let him be cut off {anathema), as is just, from Christ. This
provision also is made, for preserving the bond of charity and
brotherly love, which no distance of time or space should sever,
namely, that as often as an abbot of St. Mary's, Cameis, is
chosen by the abbot and whole convent of Tiron, then shall
the newly elected abbot and those of his monks who may be
present, promise before God, in the mother church of St.
Sauveur, Tiron, in the presence of the then abbot and the
whole convent, obedience and due submission to the church of
Tiron and its rulers. And whensoever the lord abbot of Tiron
come to St. Mary's, Cameis, or any of the places subject to it,
let him be honourably received, as is fitting, and an honourable
place prepared for him, by the abbot of the house himself, in
their chapter, and refectory, and let reverence be shown
towards him everywhere. All their substance is to be so in
common that if any of their monasteries be in want, it is to be
assisted by others. And spiritual benefits, both for the living
and the dead, are to be sought as earnestly for the brethren of
all the monasteries as their own. It was also appointed and
laid down by abbot William and all the congregation of Tiron
that abbots beyond the sea subject to the church of Tiron

should assemble at Tiron, every third year, at Whitsuntide, to
confirm the stability of the order (religio) and to visit the
brethren. . And if any of the brethren be disobedient, and leave
the mother house (istis partibus) let him not be received else-
where without letters commendatory. And let this be known
to the sons of the church, [namely] that the church of Tiron
is so privileged by the- holy and apostolic church of Rome that
whosoever would wrong it in anything, on any plea, is excom-
municated by the Pope himself, who has specially received,
in the place of the Apostles, the power of binding and loosing ;
but the blessing of our Lord Jesus Christ will rest on those
who preserve and enlarge its patrimony.

they were there, urging this request, Hamelin de Feigna

fee. The king, therefore, commanded Hugh, the benefactor, to
be summoned in the presence of Stephen, seneschal of Anjou,
Peter the son of Guy, John de Malna, and many others, and
made diligent enquiry (inquisivi) of whose fee was that
endowment. Hugh acknowledged (recognovit) that he held
that fee of the king in homage (in hoTniinio), etc
For further certainty, the king directed his officers of Mayet
and jurors (juratos) to be assembled, adjuring them by the
oath which bound them to him [to say] whether that endow-
ment was of his fee. With one voice they all protested that it
was, etc, . . . adding that a duel or judgment (judicium)
there would be decided before his officers at Oiz^ (Osiaeum).

The bishop, unwilling to vex {contristari) the king, gave up
the church, and with a gold ring he had on his finger, gave him
seisin (Regem saisivit) ; and the king delivered the church to
the canons. Thus the dispute was settled.

those of his men of the hide {de hida) without waste or sale.
And as Robert son of Jocelin has made 'this gift to the church
of Eaton by his grant and consent, he quitclaims to that church
and its nuns and Robert himself the service appertaining to
that holding, namely the ninth part of a knight. This gift he
makes for the love of God, and the weal of his soul and [those]
of his wife and heirs and for the soul of king Henry and those
of his predecessors, by consent and grant of king Henry the
Second and of his [own] son Robert. The abbey and nuns are
to hold in frankalmoine for ever etc., and to be quit of toll and
pas.sage [money] and every due throughout his land, both by
land and water on all that their men can declare to be their
own substance, and none of his men is to trouble them or their
(. men therein under penalty of his forfeiture.
' The foundation was confirmed by the earl's eon, not later than U 59,'(perhaps
than 1185), and by Henry 11. in 1163 (Old Monasticon I., 518-519).

conference (colloquium) between Gisors and Tria, has given up
(refutavi), in the hand of the said king of England, all that
she claimed as above, and all the right she asserted herself
to have therein, and has corporally given her word (fidevi),.
in his hand, that she will not renew her claim. The king of
England has promised her, for this, that he will pay her 2,750L
of Anjou a year, and has pledged his faith (affidavit) in the
hand of the archbishop of Eheims that he will pay half
[that sum] to the Templars at Ste. Viiubourg (St. Waubor) on
the fourth Sunday after Easter and within eight days following,
to be assigned by the hinds of the Templars and Hospitallers
to her, or by her command at Paris, and that he will pay the
rest at Paris on the day of the Circumcision following. The-
king of England is to cause this money to be delivered to the
Templars and Hospitallers, and to be escorted through his
land, and the king of the French likewise through his land to
Paris. If the king of England should wish to pay the money
in silver, the silver shall be reckoned at a marc of good sterling
(honorwm sterling'), namely 13 shillings and 4 pence, for 54
shillings of Anjou and if the Angevin money (moneta) should be
debased (pejoraretur) the king shall [still] be bound to pay, for
54 shillings of Anjou a marc of silver of good sterling. And if
dispute should arise about payment, the truth shall be
established by the word of the masters of the Temple and the
Hospital of France and Normandy, and by their simple-
testimony, or that of those who occupy their places. Concerning
this, the king of England has given the king of the French as
pledge, that, if the said money be not paid at the said terms,,
he shall be summoned by the Templars and Hospitallers to pay
the money within three months, and if this be not done the-
king of France, may constrain him and seize as much belonging
to him, with the assent of the king of England himself, as shall
suffice for payment of the money, without guilt (forifacto).
This agreement shall be kept with the king of England for
ever (perpetuu) and likewise with his sons who shall be willing
to observe it ; and the king of France is bound to act as pledge
(fidejubere) for that son or those sons of the king of England
whom the said king shall send to the king of France for this
purpose with his letters and due notice. And if Richard, son of
the king of England, come to the king of France as aforesaid,,
and makes oath to him that he is bound to fultil to him the
terms of this agreement, the king of Franc* is bound to act as
pledge for him without [causing] difficulty or delay. And if
the sons of the king of England ehould not be willing to
observe this agreement, she is to be in the same position,
'regarding them, as she was before the day of this compromise,
saving the agreement between the king of England and herself
all the days of his life. She has sworn to faithfully observe it
to the king and his sons as provided above and has made
the king her brother her pledge (fidejussor em) that she will
keep it.

authorization to this charter, as did his wife and his son, and
then he delivered it to be marked {assignandwm) by the hands
of his knights.
This gift was made at Fecamp.
And as he possessed all the above freely, so he granted it to
St. Florent and his monks, reserving no secular claim. For
when the monks said that an endowment should be given free
of charges (mundam), he replied, as became a prudent man,
" Though we are Normans, we know well that it should be so ;
" and, if God will) "^^ '^'^ do so."
This was done at the above place the third day after Easter.

king of the English, saying that William de Braiosa had
previously given them to themselves, and could not now give
them to others. On which account the king was at first un-
willing to allow that gift to the monks of St. Florent and to
confirm their charter, until it should be decided (deoerneretur)
in his court whether the ahbot and monks of Lonlay had a just
ground of complaint (querelavn). When therefore, on a certain
occasion, the abbot and monks heard and William de Braiosa
also, that the king had come to Caen, and was staying there,
each [side] came there with their followers to discuss the
case. The king, therefore, commanded the bishops and abbots
who were present to hear the arguments or both sides and
decide what was just. [And] they, withdrawing into [a]
chamber, heard and diligently examined the arguments, and
pronounced that the gift of William de Braiosa to the monks
of St. Florent was justly and lawfully made, and that the
abbot and monks of Lonlay had brought an unjust claim. On
this, the king asked for the charter and said he would confirm
it by his mark (signo). And because Albald monk of St.
Florent, who was present, had it not with him, he hastened
back to Braiosa, fetched the charter, and found the king, now
on his way back from Caen' at Boscherville (Baucharii Villa).
On his presenting the charter, the king marked (signavit) it
and so did the queen and their sons.
Those who made this judgment were these : William arch-
bishop of Rouen, Gilbert bishop of Evreux, Anselm abbot of
Bee, Gilbert abbot of Caen, Durand abbot of Troarn, Robert
abbot of S^es. And with William were these : Herbert son of
Gundoin, Odo Rufus, Robert Silvaticus, Robert Taillebois,
Hobert de Cancereis, William son of Godelin, Gosbert de Braiosa.
Actum apud Cadomi (sic) ia Crastino Epyphaniee.
[1080, Jan.] 1115. Notification that William de Braiosa gave St. Florent
. (Liber AlbuB, and his monks the church of the most blessed Gervase and
See ut supra%. 682.) Pi^othase with its land and much else. Receiving this gift the
monks began to build, according to their power, and dwell
there. But the monks of Lonlay, moved by this to envy,
endeavoured to claim that church by complaint to the great
king of the English. On Hugh abbot of Lonlay making
this claim, the king believing what he said, summoned William
de Braiosa to do right in his court to the monks of Lonlay.
Wherefore William went to the court at Caen, to do right
(rectum tenere) to the monks in the king's presence. He
showed, therefore, in the hearing of all the king's court that
was present that he had not given (donasse) but commended
(commendasse) to them what they claimed, the condition being
that, as the place increased, an abbey should be made there by
their counsel and with the approval of the chapter. He proved
also that, on this ground, they had abandoned (dereliquisse)
that church to him because he had not given, but commended
it, and because they were unwilling to make an abbey there,
when the endowments should admit of it, but [wished] to have it
ABBEY OF ST. FLORENT, SAUMDE. 399
[1080.]
as a cell, whicli the lord William would not allow ; and therefore
they had demised to him all that they now claimed. He marvelled,
further, tha.t while the church, with its appurtenances, was held
by his mother, to whom he had given it, after the monks had
demised it, nor during the long time it was held by clerks,
to whom he had afterwards commended it — but had taken it
from them because they lived sordidly — had they made any
claim ; but when he had given it to the monks of St. Florent,
even with the approval of abbot Hugh, they raised this wily
claim. All this he shewed and related at Caen in presence of
the most noble king William, and in the hearing of all those-
who were present when abbot Hugh claimed the endowment.
Having heard the argument (ratione) king William and all his^
court gave judgment that abbot Hugh had unjustly claimed
William's endowment because he had [already] demised it as^
related in the plea. On this decision, the abashed abbot and
his monks obtained nothing .... William king of the
English [therefore] and queen Maud and their sons confirmed
to St. Florent the endowment .... in the church of St.
George de Baucheri villa, in the sight and hearing of the
following : Odo consul, etc. (ut supra, p. 397).
[? 1093.] Long afterwards, when the church was built, and Seria
bishop of S^es was about to dedicate it, at William's request,
in the presence of the abbot of St. Florent, Ranulf abbot of
Lonlay renewed the claim to the church. Thereupon the bishop,
at the bidding of William and with the approval of the abbot
of St. Florent, gave abbot Ranulf and his monks permission to-
plead (jplacitum) in the court of count Robert [of Normandy].
William de Braiosa, therefore, who wished to protect his endow-
ment from wrongful claimants, set out for Bonneville (Bona-
villa), where the plea was to be [held], at the appointed term,
with Goscclm monk of St. Florent, who had raised the said
church by great toil. On the other hand, abbot Ranulf went
to Bonneville, where the council was to be, to pursue his claim.
So count Robert bade his bishops and nobles who were present
do right between the abbot of Lonlay and William de Braiosa.
On the morrow therefore, which was Thursday, those who were
to do right took their seats at the plea, at the bidding of count
Robert, and William de Braiosa was present. Meanwhile abbot
Ranulf and his monks William and Walter — who had lost part
of his nose — were devising flight. Not knowing v/hat to plead,
they deserted, in their confusion, the plea, without informing the
count, the abbot, or the nobles present. The count, therefore,
greatly wroth, commanded the bishop of S^es, under his seal, to
uphold the monks of St. Florent, and defend them from all their
enemies, and bade abbot Ranulf, through the bishop, do them
right for impleading them in his court and abandoning the plea.

Normand son of Gosbert, Hugh de Gloucester/ Reinald Grossus.
Also, that William nephew of the said Guienoc, succeeding
him in possession {in honorem) confirmed (concessit) those
churches and endowments to St. Mary['s priory] guarding and
protecting them. Also that Badero[n] son of this William,
with Rohese his wife, who now possess and rule that honour,
confirm what was done, increasing the endowment, namely the
church of St. Tedioc, the church of St. Giles of Goodrich castle,
the church of St. Custenin, Biconovria, the church of Hope
[belonging to] Payn son of Baderon, the church of Haillilda
Hope, the church of Tibristonia, the church of Stratonia, the
church of Aspretonia, the church of Lindeneia, the church of
St. Nicholas of Stantonia, the chapel of Honteleia. To these
churches the bishop adds that of Tatintonia, which Richard
de Cormeliis, for the benefit of his soul and those of his father
and mother, gave the monks [of Monmouth], in the bishop's
time, retaining no tithes or endowments. Also, that of St.
Roald of Treket, with its appurtenances and all the tithes of
Treket, which had lately been given to the same, by Robert
[son] of Baderon, at the request and desire of the bishop
[himself.]
By his episcopal authority, therefore, the chapter of Hereford
witnessing and approving, he grants these churches, in honour
of God and St. Florent, for ever, as freely as Guienoc and his
heirs gave them. He deems it well to record the indisputable
witness of the following persons of the chapter : Ralf the dean,
Brian (Briencius) the treasurer, Gilbert the precentor, Randulf
Archimeri, master Reinald, Hugh de Clifordia, Ordgar, Walter,
Hosbert, master Eustace, Hugh Partes. Anyone attempting to
infringe this confirmation is left to the judgment of God; to
those who observe it God's blessing and the bishop's is granted.
This confirmation was executed in the year 1144 (mcxhvo),
but the churches were given in the time of king William, who
conquered England and subdued it nobly to himself, except
Tatintonia and Treket, given in the bishop's time and at his
request.

[1055.] 1167. Notification by the monks of Marmoutier to their
(MS. Baluze, fo. 44, successors that a knight of Maine (pagi Genomannensis)
rom a u ary.) jj^j^^g^j John son of Guy de Valle in Normandy, in the Vexin
(territorio Vilcassino) gave them a certain property (funduon)
with the [good]will and assent of his father and of his brother
Hamon, namely a moiety of Vesly (Verliacum). He also gave,
near by (haut longe) the whole church of Gournay (GvMrniacus)
near the river Epte, with a holding (mansura tefre) and
two mills, seven acres of land and seven tenants. But Guy
had received the property of Vesly with his wife Berta,
mother of John and Hamo, in marriage, [while] the church
of Gournay etc. he bought subsequently. All which, as he
was oppressed by age {senio gravis), he gave, as they were
far off, to John the elder son, then a young man. But, some-
time afterwards, when John was close on thirty years old,
being of man's estate, and a knight (militari sub habitu), and
sprung from illustrious stock, he felt compunction in his heart
by the grace of God — which was haply why he had been named
John — and began to shrink from the world, which he saw
becoming worse every day. He despised, therefore, the riches of
this world, that he might become rich in the poverty of Christ,
etc At length he selected Marmoutier (hoc Majus
Monasteriv/m), and quitting his secular life, became a monk
there, bestowing on it the above estate as his father and he
himself had held it, to be enjoyed quit of all dues for ever.
Wherefore the lord abbot Albert,-' theiF presiding over Mar-
moutier, to make this gift secure, went to William prince and
duke of the Normans, and king of all his land, trusting to his
constant friendship and love, and begged him to confirm the
above gift. Who, of his pre-eminent liberality, shewn by his
numerous gifts to them, granted the request with unexpected
ease, and confirmed [the, gift] before these witnesses : —

being asked by Fredebert, one of their brethren, who was set
over their possessions in Normandy, under abbot Albert, in the
year 1062, bestowed on them (doTiasse) all their dues {consue-
tudi/ma), new and old, over all the lands held by that monk or
under the protection of their house (tuitionis tantum gratia
comTnendatas). And this he did for his soul, and from the love
and generosity he had long shewn towards them.

[Temp. Will. I.] 1170. Recital of the above gift, with details of it, ending : —
(MS. lat. 12,878, " Hoc concessit comes manducans ad La Hoge de Boiville,

Hiatoire de St. Hugone forestario, quem voluit percutere de una espalla porci,
Sauveur, p. 38.) pro [eo] quod contradicebat illud donum."
This [gift] St. Martin enjoyed till Robert Bertrannus became
vicomte, when he plundered them therein, saying he knew
nothing of the king having done this. Then Gauslin the monk,
at the bidding of Rainald the monk, crossed the sea on his
business, and made complaint to the king, who, wrathful, sent
him back, with his chaplain Bernard son of Hospac to the
queen, directing her to do St. Martin justice on [Robert] Ber-
trannus and restore the plunder. The queen, obeying him,
compelled Robert to restore all that he had taken of St. Martin's
property, on the feast of St. John, in the Nativity, at Cherbourg
{in domo de Ceresbroch), in the hearing of the bishops of
Lisieux and Avranches, Richard the viccmie, Heudo, [and]
Humfrey de Bohun (Buhonensi).

1063. 1171. Notification by the monks of Marmoutier to their
(MS. lat. 12,878, successors that Robert de Toeniaco uncle of Dom (Bomni) John
MS B^luze *fb 50 <>lieir fellow monk,i son of Guy de Valle, had granted to
both "from Cartulary.) St. Martin and them all his rights at Gournay {Ouarmacum),
on condition that if he wished to become a monk among them,
he should be received by them with what he should bring for
, it ; and if he should not wish to do so, and his brother, Berenger
Spina by name, should wish it, and should have his permission
—should he be alive — he (Berenger) should not be refused
by them. If neither of them desired it, and he, Robert, should
have a son who sought admission for himself, [then] if Robert
and Berenger consented — should they be living — that son
should not be refused by them so long as he were of six years
old or upwards. This agreement was first made by Robert,
with certain of their brethren, before William count of the
Normans, and then, coming into their chapter, Albert being
abbot, in the year 1063 (mlxiii.) he confirmed it there. With
him was Berenger his son, who confirmed (auctorizavit) what
his father had done, and a man of his, Galquelin by name,^ who
will (debehit) testify to this. And in the court of the Norman
count, where this agreement was first made, there were
present : —
Radulfus Taxonis, Tetbaldus filius Bernerii, Hugo Britto,
Rotbertus filius Gerogii, Richardus filius Torestini, Giraldus
siniscalcus.
[1060-1066.*] 1172. Recital of a long dispute between the monks of Mar-

MS t°'544i nil 1 c®™™g ^^^^ which Guy de Valle had given the former, near
' " fo. 5.) his castle of La Val, for making a bourg. Eventually, when
the count (i.e., William) was holding his court at Domfront, he
held a plea concerning this matter, when both he and his court
gave judgment that the monks of Marmoutier (nos) should
offer the ordeal (judicium portare), but that Guy need only
swear that he had never given the property in dispute, etc.
. . . . On Reinald the abbot refusing his oath, the count
directed that the property should be restored to the monks of
Marmoutier. And thus the case so long in doubt was decided
by a public and lawful judgment.

son Robert all the gifts he had made to them himself, or had
granted [permission] for them to hold within his land, because
he was now of sufficient (majoris) age to give a spontaneous
confirmation. Then the count, so bountiful in his gifts, and no
less foreseeing in confirming them, sent for his son and asked
him to give the confirmation required. He made no objection,
but, entirely of his free will, gladly confirmed all that his father
had given the monks, and granted them within his dominions.

[1072-1079.] 1190. [Notification that] on a certain St. Leonard's day
(Original in archives^ earl Roger [do Montgomery] was present (at the priory of
° *''s?aTbrokeu!^^ ' Belesme), and with him several men of consequence, whom he
Trans. [140 B], had invited for his own honour and for the glory of the Priory.
Vol. I. fo. 80.) Among them was Robert bishop of Sees, who at the request of
the earl and of the brethren, sang mass that day, and who
tried, from greed, to retain the offerings, at the mass, for
himself. The brethren, seeing with horror this monstrous deed
(velut monstrum) took them by force, and not without brawling,
from a clerk of his, to whose keeping he had committed them.
In his wrath at this, the bishop declared that he would excom-
municate the priory and them. Thereupon earl Roger made
complaint of the bishop of S^es to John archbishop of Rouen,
and, on the appointed day, the brethren came to Rouen to plead
therein. There, at the palace, in the presence of the king and
queen of the English, earl Roger made complaint that the bishop
of S4es had presumed to excommunicate St. Leonard's Priory
without cause. The bishop, on the other hand, charged the
brethren with depriving him of his right to the offertories,
' throughout his diocese. On this, the king and queen, enquired
of earl Roger concerning the position (status) of that church.
The earl and brethren clearly explained that William de
Belesme (Bellissimo) had built it for the remission of his sins, and
by direction of Pope Leo had made it free, and that from the
day of its dedication, no archbishop or bishop had possessed any
rights (consuetudinera) in it or any power to excommunicate
■ it. There were also present men of great age, who had seen
and heard that this was so, prepared to prove what had been
stated according to the king's decision. Having heard this,
the king and queen bade John the archbishop and Roger de
Bellomonte and many other barons pronounce judgment therein
(facerent inde judicium) according to what they heard. And
they, having taken counsel together (abito consilio) gave judg-
ment that this church, which enjoyed freedom by such authority
and such repeated confirmations, and had continued free so long,
should remain so thenceforth for ever ; [and] that the bishop
had wronged not only earl Roger, but also the king, of whom
he (Roger) held the church. The archbishop also said that there
were churches in his [own] diocese in which he had no rights
(consuetudinem). Thus bishop Robert redressed the wrong he-
had done to the king and to earl Roger ; and it was decreed
(diffi,nitum) that if archbishop or bishop should presume to
trouble that church again, he should, by apostolic and royal
authority, be cut off from the communion of t"he faithful until
[he made] satisfaction.

gift being procured by Robert the monk, who was then at

anyone but himself. He gave {annuit) it them with sac and
soc, free and quit, except from Danegeld (Guelt quod colligitur

knight of noble origin, Richard by name, and granted by
William, the most noble count of Normandy, and the said
knight's brothers, William and Baldwin.
In the year when there came to an end the long war between
king Henry and count William, the said knight Richard, had
been sent with other Normans, by the count, to guard Timer
{Tedmarum castrum), which was then, with its inhabitants,
under anathema. Attacked, while there, by the illness from
which he died, he was in great dread for his soul, and sent for
Nigel, who had married his sister, with other friends, and
begged that Geoffrey a monk of St. Pere, who happened to be
present, would hasten to the bishop and procure absolution
both for him and for the others, and that they would carry
him to the monastery for burial, on the terms that the monks,
thenceforward for ever should possess a third of Gouberville,
the knights excepted, namely, whatever he had possessed in
houses, lands, meadows, waters, church, oxen. Absolution
having been obtained, and his body buried, with the rites of
religion, among the nobles of the city, the monks inscribed his
name among those benefactors, to whom they owed their
endowments. The gift was authorised by the above glorious
count William, for the reward of celestial life, at Courdemanche
(Gurtis Dominicus), not far from Dreux {castrum Drocis), in the
presence of his nobles, of whom these are the names : — William
son of Osbert, Walter Gifardus, Fulc de Alno, Hubert de Rigia,

to state the rights which Henry and Richard, late kings of
England {AngV) had in Normandy [as] against the clergy,
both at Lisieux {Lexovium) and elsewhere, and their own
rights.
They say upon their oath that they saw, in the tiine of
Henry and Richard late kings of England, that, when a church
in the gift of a lay person was vacant, if he in whose gift it

1205.
was presented a suitable person to the archbishop or bishop
in whose diocese the church was situated, the archbishop or
bishop was bound to receive that person unless someone else
contended that the presentation belonged to him.
If a dispute arose as to the right of patronage, the arch-
bishop or bishop could never bestow that church on anyone
or admit anyone to it until the dispute was settled in the king's
court, or in the court of him whose fee the church was held
(movet). When the dispute was thus settled, the archbishop
or bishop, on the evidence of the king's letters patent or those
of his bailiff or those of him of whose fee the church was held,
had to receive the suitable person who should be presented by
him to whom the right of patronage was adjudged.
They also say upon their oath that no archbishop, bishop, or
inferior ecclesiastical person can pronounce sentence of excom-
munication on the king's barons, bailiffs, or sergeants or on the
clerks of his household, without asking [the consent of] the
king or his seneschal.
Also, that no ecclesiastical person can try {trahere in causam)
anyone for [breach of] faith or oath as to lay fee or a layman's
chattels ; but if faith has been pledged concerning the chattels
of a marriage portion or legacies of the dead or chattels of a
clerk or crusader, they may judge the case.
Also, that they never saw anyone, in the time of king Henry
or king Richard, pay tithe of hay, or broom, or wood, unless he
had granted it in alms.
Also, that they saw king Henry and king Richard holding
plea[s] of the sword in the city and hanlieu?- of Lisieux after
Amulf bishop of Lisieux had left Normandy, as an exile on
this account.^
Also, that in the fees of Gournay (GornacuTn) La Fert^
(Feritas) and Gaillefontaine (Goellenfonf) the archbishop can
only hold three pleas (namely), marriage portion, legacy, and
clerk's chattels.
Also, concerning that which the archbishop begs for at
Lo[u]viers, that the late king Richard gave him an exchange
and a charter to that effect and the king [of France] shall do
him justice according to that charter if he see fit.
Also, concerning a clerk holding a lay fee, that if he wrong
the lord from whom he holds the fee, the lord can seize all
[that] clerk's chattels on the fee, until satisfaction be made to
him so far as the fee is concerned.
Also, that if a clerk hold anything, which is the subject of a
lay claim, and alleges that he holds it in alms, recognition shall
be made by the oath of lawful men of the land whether it be
a lay fee or [held in] alms, and this [shall be done] in the
king's court. So, if a layman hold anything which a clerk
alleges to be his, as alms, recognition shall similarly be made
in the king's court by the oath of lawful men of the land.

Also, concerning the property of a usurer, that, so long as he
is on a bed of sickness, if he distribute his property with his
own hand, it is valid. But, after his death,i all his property
belongs to the king, if he can be proved to have lent on usury
within a year of his death.
Also, concerning an intestate, if he lie on a bed of sickness
for three or four days,^ all his movables go to the king, or to
him in whose land he is. So also with a suicide.
Also, concerning the truce [of God] if a man wounds another
so that he should lose limb or life, the plea shall remain in the
king's court, if the complainant desires to prosecute the case,
and the church shall have the fine up to nine pounds, if the
accused be convicted, and the king shall have aU the rest.*
The truce lasts from Wednesday evening to Monday morning.
Also, if a clerk be arrested (capiatur), on whatever ground,
and the church claims him, he ought to be given up to the
church, and should he be convicted of the theft or homicide,
he shall be degraded and shall abjure the realm (terram) ; nor
shall he be otherwise punished for that oifence. And he must
not enter the realm thereafter without the king's license, or
justice will be done on him. And if he commit any oflFence
afterwards, the king shall execute justice on him as on a
layman.
They have written down in good faith the rights of the king
and their own, which they remember, as they saw them
observed in the time of king Henry and king Richard, after
taking counsel with prudent men, namely Richard de Willikier,
Richard de Argentiis, Richard de Fonteneto, and Ralf Labbe,
and with certain others, for the preservation of the king's
rights and their own. And because they do not remember [all]
these rights, and because certain of the barons of Normandy
are not present, they have decided among themselves, to
assemble on another day, and to summon the other barons if
the king see fit, and then to write down on their oath the king's
rights and their own which are not here written. To the
present document they have thought fit to append their seals.

27 July. Exeter and Worcester. He has heard that his dear sons the
(Cartulaire I. 292.) abbots of Faversham and Boxley {Buseleia) received his man-
date to settle the dispute between the monks of St. Bertin
and Nathanael the knight concerning the chapel of Livelanda ;
and that when, both parties having been repeatedly summoned
before them, the knight made no appearance, they at length
adjudged the chapel to the monks, having judicially received
their attestations. But when they subsequently summoned
before them the said knight, to make amends to the monks,
and surrender the chapel to them in peace, then for the first
time, in dread of excommunication, he made his appearance,
and steadfastly asserted that he had no right in the said
chapel. Thereupon Richard, archbishop of Canterbury, legate
of the Apostolic see, sent an envoy with a letter from him
claiming that the chapel belonged to him, and appealing {in
vocem appellationis prorupit) against the monks being placed
in possession. Wherefore the said judges postponed the excom-
munication of the said knight. [Now] as the Pope is in doubt
as to the truth, and is bound to assist monks (religiosi viri)
in obtaining justice, he commands them to summon before
them both parties, and, having fully ascertained from the said
abbots the truth, then, if they are satisfied that the said knight
did publicly attest at the trial (in judicio) that he had no
right in the said chapel, they are to bid him keep silence in
matter, admitting neither excuse, nor appeal, and forbid him
to trouble the monks any more therein. And if he sets

himself against this injunction they are to excommunicate him
without hesitation. After this, they are to hear carefully the
case as between the archbishop and the monks, anrl, if they are
satisfied that archbishop Theobald did confer that chapel on
the monks, and that both he and the blessed martyr Thomas
confirmed it to them by charter, they are to enjoin silence {silen-
tiv/m, indicatis) on the archbishop, by the Pope's authority, as
to his claim on that chapel ; for it is neither honourable nor
fitting (honestv/m aut conveniens) that he should set himself
against the authority and the grant of his great predecessors.
If either of them cannot be present to accomplish this, let the
other nevertheless accomplish it.

[1087-1100.] 1435. Agreement between [Odo] the bishop of Bayeux and
(Bayeux Cartulary.) Rannulf the vicomte [of the Bessin], after long dispute between
them, made at Bayeux, in the bishop's house, these men of the
bishop being present on his side : William son of Oger,^ Helto,^
Adam son of Hubert,^ Adelold the chamberlain.s Robert de
SuUeio; and on Rannulf's side, Herbert son of Gonduin,
William de Semilleio, Nigel son of Serlo. The terms were
these : — Rannulf did fealty (fecit fidelitatis securitatem) to the
bishop as his lord, by [pledging his] faith and by oath for [the
safety of] his life and limbs and, as to the seizure of his body,
that he would in no way attempt it. He also did him liege
homage (fidelitatem ligiavi) by oath (jurejuraTido) for all the
land the bishop held that day, and all the land he should
acquire by Rannulf's counsel, so th.at Rannulf was to help the
bishop to obtain it all. And he would assist him against all
his assailants, saving his fealty to count Robert [of Normandy].
And the three sons of Rannulf were to recognise and observe
his sworn promise to the bisliop, and to do service for these
lands, as holding them from [tlie bishop as] a lord, which lands
Rannulf had not previously held of the bishop. [For] when
the king [William I.] lay ill at Coutances, he took them
away from the bishop, and made Rannulf hold them, but not
from the bishop, etc So the bishop pledged himself
for the safety of Robert's life and limbs, as his man, and as
to the seizure of his body, that he would in no way attempt
it, and as to the land he held that day, and that he should
acquire by the bishop's counsel, the bishop was to assist him
against all his assailants, saving his fealty (fide) to count
Robert. The bishop also restored to Rannulf all the land he
had already held of him except that of Nigel de Costentino.
But Rannulf consented to accept an exchange for the land of
Flavinnei and Gaveruz if the bishop wished him to do so.
And the bishop gave him, as an addition all the land of Tort-
capel and the land of Bernard son of Ilger, etc and
every Easter marten skins and an ermine cape (erminiuTn
renonem) or thirty pounds in money of Rouen. [And] Rannulf
gave the bishop, as sureties for this agreement, these his men :
William de Semilleio, Herbert son of Gonduin, Hugh de Rosel,
Ranulf son of Alan, Nigel son of Serlo, who, by Rannulf's
direction, pledged their faith to the bishop that they would keep
him to this agreement, by their entreaties and advice, to the
utmost of their power. And if they failed, they would witness

bishop of Bayeux and Jocelin bishop of Salisbury, in his pre-
sence and that of several bishops, have thus agreed concerning
the dispute between them as to what had been carried off from the
Treasury of Salisbury Cathedral : — The bishop of Bayeux has
in his presence, by the hands of Nigel the monk and by Albert
the porter of Harecuria, restored to the bishop of Salisbury
an arm (brachium) covered with plates of gold and adorned
with precious stones ; and has also given 10 marcs of silver.
And the dispute between them has been thus finally settled.

As far back as the year 1800, a Committee of the House of Commons
recommended that Indexes and Calendars should be made to the Public
Becords, and thirty-six years afterwards another Committee of the House
of Commons reiterated that recommendation in more forcible words.
On 7 December, 1865, the Master of the Eolls stated to the Lords of
the Treasury that although "the Eecords, State Papers, and Documents
" in his charge constitute the most complete and perfect series of their
" kind in the civilized world," and although " they are of the greatest
"value in a historical and constitutional point of view, yet they are
" comparatively useless to the public, from the want of proper Calendars
" and Indexes."
Their Lordships assented to the necessity of having Calendars prepared
and printed, and empowered the Master of the Bolls to take such steps as
might be necessary for this purpose.
The following Works have been already published in this Series : —

THE CHRONICLES AND MEMORIALS OF GREAT
BRITAIN AND IRELAND DURING THE MIDDLE AGES.
[KoYAL 8vo. Price 10s. each Volume or Part.]
On 25 July 1822, the House of Commons presented an address to the
Crown, stating that tlie editions of the works of our ancient historians
were inconvenient and defective ; that many of their writings still
remained in manuscript, and, in some cases, in a single copy only. They
added, " that an. uniform and convenient edition of the whole, published
"under His Majesty's royal sanction, would be an undertaking honour-
" able to His Maiesty's reign, and oondncive to the advancement of
"historical and constitutional knowledge ; that the House therefore
" humbly besought His Majesty, that He would be graciously pleased to
"give such directions as His Majesty, in His vfisdom, ■ might think fit,
" for the publication of a complete edition of the ancient historians
" of this realm.;"
The Master of the Rolls, being very desirous that effect, should be given
to the resolution of the House of Commons, submitted to Her Majesty's
Treasury in 1857 a plan for the publication of the ancient chronicles and
memorials of the United Kingdom, and it was adopted accordingly, -
Of the Chronicles and Memorials, the following volumes have been
published. They embrace the period from the earliest time of British
history down to the end of the reign of Henry VII.

The first is a poem in Norman French, probably written in 1245. The second is an
anonymous poem, written between IMO and 1430, which is mainly valuable as a specimen of

Peoock, sometime Bishop of Chichester. Vols. I. and II. Edited by
the Rev. Churchill Babington, B.D., Fellow of St. John's College,
Cambridge. 1860.
The " Bepressor " may be considered the earliest piece of good theological dis-
quisition of which our English prose literature can boast. The author was born about
the end o( the fourteenth century, consecrated Bishop of St. Asaph In the year iiii, and
translated to the see of Chichester in 1450. His work is inteiesting chiefly because it
gives a full account of the views of the Ijollards, and it has great value for the philologist.
20. Annales Cambri^e. Edited by the Rev. John Willlams ab Ithel, M.A.
1860.

DiMOCK, M.A., Rector of Barnburgh, Yorkshire. Vol. VIII. Edited

Museum. 1861-1891.
These volumes contain the historical works of Gerald du Barry, who lived in
the reigns of Henry II., Kichard 1., and John. His works are of a very miscellaneous
nature, both in prose and verse, and are remarkable for the anecdotes which they contain.
The Topographia Hibemica (in Vol.. V.) is the result of Giraldus' two visits to
Ireland, the first in 1183, the second in 1185-6, when he accompanied Prince John
into that country. The Expugnatio Mibemica was written about 1188, and may
be regarded rather as a great epic than a sober relation of acts occurring in his
own days. Vol. VI. contains the Itinerarium Kartibrice et Dettcriptio Kambrits;
and Vol. VII., the lives of S. Bemigius and B. Hugh. Vol. VIII. contains the
Treatise De Principum Instructione, and an Index to Vols. I.-IV. and VIII.

edition, the text of each manuscript is printed in columns on the same page, so
that the student may see at a glance the various changes which occur in orthograph; ,

James IV. of Scotland.
25. Letters of Bishop Geosseteste. Edited by the Rev. Henry Richards
Luard, M.A., Fellow and Assistant Tutor of Trinity College, Cam-
bridge. 1861.
The letters of Robert Grosseteste range in date from about 1210 to 1253, and
relate to matters connected not only vith the political history of England during
the reign of Henry III., but with its ecclesiastical condition, They refer especially
to the diocese of Jjincoln, of which Grosseteste was bishop.

The object of this work is to publish notices of all known sources of British
history, both printed and unprlatei, in one continued sequence. The materials,
when historical (as distingnished from biographical), are arranged under the year
in which the latest event is recorded in the chronicle or history, and not under
the period in which its author, real or supposed, :aourisbed. Biographies are enumerated
under the year in which the person.commemorated died, and not under the year in which
the life was written, A brief analysis of each work has been added when deserving it, in
which original portions are distinguished from mere compilations. A biographical sketch
of the author of each ^iece has been added, and a brief notice of such British authors as
have written on historical subjects.

arose from tfie attempts of Baldwin and Hubert, archbishops of Canterbury, to found a
college of secular canons, a project which gave great nmbrage to the monks of Canterbary,

Edward's, Fellow of St. Catharine's College, and late Fellow of
Magdalene College, Cambridge. 1865-1886.
This chronicle begins with the creation, and is bronght down to the reign of
Edward III. It enables us to form a very fair estimate of the knowledge of history and
geography which well-informed readers of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries possessed,
for it was then the standard work on general history.
The two English translations, which are printed with the original Latin, afford
interesting illustrations of the gradnal change of our language, for one was made in the
fourteenth century, the other In the fifteenth,

Edited by the Rev. John Glovee, M.A., Vicar of Brading, Isle of
Wight, formerly Librarian of Trinity College, Cambridge. 1865.
These two treaties are valuable as careful abstracts of previous historians. Some
various readings are given which are interesting to the philologist as instances of semi-
Saxonised French.
43. Cheonica Monasteeii de Mblsa ab anno 1150 usque ad annum 1406,
Vols. I.-III. Edited by Edwaed Augustus Bond, Assistant Keeper
of Manuscripts, and Egerton Librarian, British Museum. 1866-
1868.
The Abbey of Meaux was a Cistercian house, and the work of its abbot is a faithful and
often minute record of the establishment of a religious community, of its progress in form-
ing an ample revenue, of its struggles to maintain its acquisitions, and of its relations to
the governing institutions of the country.
44. MatthjEi Paeisibnsis Histoeia Angloeum, srvB ut vulgo dicitur, His-
toria Minor. Vols. I., IL, and III. 1067-1253. Edited by Sir
Feedbeick Madden, K.H., Keeper of the Manuscript Department
of the British Museum. 1866-1869.
45. LiBEE Monasteeii de Hyda : a Chronicle and Chaetulaey of Hyde
Abbey, Winchestee, 455-1023. Edited by Edward Edwards. 1866.
The "Book of Hyde " is a compilation from much earlier sources which are usually
indicated with considerable care and precision. In many cases, however, the Hyde
15
Chronicler appears to correot, to qaaUly, or to amplify the statements which, In subatauoe,
he adopts.
There is to be tonnd, In the '' Book o( Hyde," much information relating to the reign of
King Alfred which is not known to exist elsewhere. The Tolqme contains some corions
specimens of Anglo-Saion and medieeval English.
46. Cheonicon Sootor0m; a Chronicle of Irish Affairs, from the earliest
times to 1135 ; and Supplement, coataining the events from 1141 to
1150. Edited, luith Translation, by William Maunsell Hennessy,
M.E.I.A. 1866.
47. The Chronicle of Pierre de Langtoft, in French Vbrsb, prom the
EARLIEST PERIOD TO THE DEATH OF EdWARD I. Vols. I and II. Edited
by Thomas Wright, M.A. 1866-1868.
It is probable that Pierre de Langtoft was a canon of Bridlington, in Yorkshire, and
lived in the reign of Edward I., and daring a portion of the reign of Edward 11. This
chronicle is divided into three parts ; in the first, Is an abridgment of Geoffrey of Mon-
mouth's " Historia Britonnm ; " in the second, a history of the Anglo-Saxon and Norman
kings, to the death of Henry III. ; in the third, a history of the reign of Edward I. The
language is a curious specimen of the French of Yorkshire.
48. The War of the Gabdhil with the Gaill, or The Invasions of
Ireland by the Danes and other Norsemen. Edited, with a Trams-
lation, by the Kev. Jambs Hbnthorn Todd, D.D., Senior Fellow of
Trinity College, and Regius Professor of Hebrew in the University of
Dublin. 1867.
The work in its present form, in the editor's opinion, is a comparatively modern version
of an ancient original. The story is told after the manner of the Scandinavian Sagas.
49. Gbsta Regis Henrici Secundi Bbnbdicti Abbatis. Chronicle of the
Reigns of Henry II. and Richard I., 1169-1192, known under the

51. Chronica Magistri Rogeei db Houedenb. Vols. I.-IV. Edited by
the Rev. William Stubbs, M.A., Regius Professor of Modern History,
and Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford. 1868-1871.
The earlier portion, extending from 732 to 1148, appears to be a copy of a compilation
made in Northumbria about 1161, to which Hoveden added little. From 1148 to 1169— a
very valnable portion of this work— the matter is derived from another source, to which
Hoveden appears to have supplied little. From 1170 to 1192 is the portion which corre-
sponds to some extent with the Chronicle known nnder the name of Benedict of Peter-
borough {see Ko. 49). From 1192 to 1201 may be said to be wholly Hoveden's work.

apply the art of photozincography in the production of a facsimile of

This work forms a comprehensive Palseographie Series for Ireland. It
furnishes oharaoteristio specimens of the documents which have come
down from each of the classes which, in past ages, formed principal
elements in the population of Ireland, or exercised an influence in her
affairs. With these reproductions are combined fac-similes of writings
connected with eminent personages or transactions of importance in the
annals of the country to the early part of the eighteenth century.
The specimens have been reproduced as nearly as possible in accord-
ance with the originals, in dimensions, colouring, and general appearance.
Characteristic examples of styles of writing and oaligraphic ornamenta-
tion are, as far as practicable, associated with subjects of historic and
linguistic interest. Descriptions of the various manuscripts are given
by the Editor in the Introduction. The contents of the specimens are
fuUy elucidated and printed in the original languages, opposite to
the Fac-similes — line for line— without contractions — thus facilitating
reference and aiding effectively those interested in palesographio studies.
In the work are also printed in full, for the first time, many original
and important historical documents.
Part I. commences with the earliest Irish MSS. extant.
Part II. : From the Twelfth Century to A.D. 1299.
Part III. : Prom A.D. 1300 to end of reign of Henry VIII.
Part IV. 1 : Prom reign of Edward VI. to that of James I.
In Part IV. 2 the work is carried down to the early part of the
eighteenth century, with Index to the entire publication.
