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. vm PKEFACE. 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. 1 Annals of Ireland, A.D. 1210, in Cartularies of St. Mark's Abbey, DubUn (Rolls), II. 30. 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 1 Lectures on Mediceval and Modern History, pp. 41-2. xil PREFACE. 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 1 Cf. Prof. Maitland's "History from the Charter Roll" (English Historical Review, VIII. 726). PKErACE, Xlll 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 PREFACE. XV 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. e 92684. }) Xvi t'EEFACES. 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 PREFACE. xvii 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 b 2 2V111 PREFACE. 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 1 Court^ household, and itinerary of Henry II, PREFACE. xix 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 1 VI. 1067, 1106, a p. 174. s p. 24. XX PREFACE. 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 1 Charter EoU, 13 Edw. I. n. S6 (where Bathon' is clearly an error for Baioc). ■'' Bernard de St. Valery. a Eyton, p. 267. 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 " Bartholomeo Eergant, tunc majore Rotomagi, testibus : " Hugone de Cressi, R[icardo] abbate Mortuimaris,^ " Willelmo de Malapalude, Willelmo de Brealte, Galtero " filio Ger[oldi] " etc. Another charter to the same effect (G. 4363), in which " Robert " is substituted for " EaK " (according to the Inventaire) is also " actum publice," but " coram Rotrodo Rothomagi archiepiscopo, " 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 1 1174-July 1179. XXiy PREFACE. 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. 2 Cheruel's Commune de Rouen. 3 Early English Text Society, N"o. 71. M. 28. 6 1.67-68. «1. 64. 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. 2 Lord Lyttelton's Henry II. App. I., p. 463. 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.^ 1 Histoire . . . . de St Sauveur, p. 36. * Cf. p. xxiv. note i. 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. XXX PREFACE. pr^cieux qui infailliblement eussent et^ perdus sans I'appel qu'elle fit en 1833 aux antiquaires fran9ais.^ 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. 1 Vol. II. fo. 201. 2 « Cartulaire de la Basse-Normandie, ou Copie des Chartes, et autres actes concernant les biens et privileges concedes en Angleterre a diverses maisons religieuBes, accompagnee des sceaux et contre-sceaux Anglo- Normands qui etoient encore appendus k ces memes actes." 3 Preface to Vol. I. 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. 1 The Revolutionists are not alone to blame. The archives of the See of Coutances, for instance, were barbarously used by them, but " d'un " autre cote, les chanoines de Coutances, par une espece de vaudalisme " inexplicable, brulerent pendant trois jours dans la salle du Chapitre, une " grande quantite de parchemins .... sons le specieux pretexte " qu'ils dtoient en etat de pourriture, mais bien plut6t parcequ'ils ne " pouvoient point les lire." (Vol. I. fo. 122.) e 92684. C Xxxu tEEFACE. 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 1 " Cartulaire de I'Abbaye de la Sainte-Trinite de Tiron, public et annote par Lucien Merlet, architiste d'Eure-et-Loir.*' fREFAOE. xxxiii 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,"^ 1 Further corrections will be found in the foot-notes. 2 See No. 99a c 2 XXXVr PREFACE. "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 sexagenas aut quinquagenas marcas argenti, vel eo plus ininusve 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. 1 Vita Sancti Bemardi I. ahbatis, J. B. Souchet (1649). ^ Ed. Societe de I'histoire de France III. 448. a Sym. Dun. II. 258. * C/.the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for 1115 (II. 213). 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 1 Sym.

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, 1 i.e., " Teui " (Tevi). 2 See No. 997. 3 Owen's Pembrokeshire {Cymmorodion Record Society), 1897, pp. vii., X., 425-446. * Bibliotheque de I'Ecole des Chartes XIX. 132. PREFACE. xxxvii 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 -1.

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 1 Charters and Records of Cluni, 2 vols., 1888. 2 See Sarum charters and documents, p. 6. This second and later charter is wrongly said to be "apparently (a) copy of" the earlier document (No. 1387), from which it is quite distinct, in Charters and Records of Cluni (II. 200). ^ Charters and Records of Cluni I. 83 ; II. 200. xl PRErACE. 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 1 They were made " archijusticiarios regni" in 1179 (R. de Diceto), 2 English Historical Review XII. 346. 3 History of Warwickshire, pp. 35-6. 4 See Mr. Freeman's Appendix on " William's grants of Holderness " {Norman Conquest Vol. IV.) ; Ellis's " Domesday Landholders of York- shire" (Yorhs. Arch. Journ.); Chester Waters' Survey of Lindsey, p. 13. 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. 1 "belende" {Peterborough Chron., 1096). 2 Florence of Worcester II. 38-9, 3 Monasticon Anglicanum VI., 1103, 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). 2 The "Hagham," " Hacharn," or "Hayham" of the Monasticon (VI. 1050). xliv PEEFACE. 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 1 See Mr. Birch's paper in Journal of the British Archaological Association, Vol. XXXI. a MS. lat. 12,877. 3 Magni Rotuli scaccarii Normannie (1844), II. xxii-xxvii., xxxi-* xxxvi. * See the Index to this Calendar. xlvi PREFACE. 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 1 This is implied by the entry in the Testa de Nevill (p. 134) relating to Bereford, Oxon. 2 (Rolls series) pp. Ixxxvii-viii. ^ Vol. VI. pp. 429-436. * lb., VII. 289-317. 6 76.^ pp. 298, 302. PREFACE. xlvii contrary, his son^ (Fos. 662, 1215). Moreover, Savaric's wife was the (laugliter not of Engelger de Bohun, but of Richard de Meri^; This changes the whole pedigree 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." 3 See Bristol and Gloucestershire ArcheBological Transactions, IV. «7-90 ; XII. 12-16, 30-33 ; Herald and Genealogist VI. 241-253 ; Freeman's William Rufus II. 65-6; Ellis's Introduction to Domes- ■day, etc. * Cf. Feudal England, p. 109. e 92684. d xlviii PREFACE. 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* 1 Of.

PEEFACE xlix 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 e 92684. e 1 PREP'ACE. 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 1 Itinerarium Ricardi (Rolls), pp. 300, 302. liv PREFACE. 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 wUl be supplemented by the editor, for want of space, in some other quarter.^ But the "Index Rerum" wiU, it is hoped, call attention to further points. In the " Index 1 English Historical Review XI. 734. 2 The Sussex charters not here discussed will be dealt with by him in Vol. XLII. of the Sussex Archaeological Society's collections ; and he hopes to communicate a paper on points in certain documents to ArchcBologia, PREFACE. Iv JS'omiimm " great labour has beeu devoted to identifying place-nameSj but in many eases their corrupt form has rendered the task impossible. On the other hand, the Index of personal names has been made a special feature, and will, it is hoped, as incorporating the editor's genea- logical knowledge, be found of service by those who have to deal with Anglo-Norman names. 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 Records, for the personal interest he has taken in the work and for many valued suggestions while it was passing through the press. CATHEDRAL CHURCH OF ST.

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. [Signa] : Roberti ; Radulfi comitis.

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.

They are to hold free from all subjection and domination by barons, princes, and all others, and un- disturbed by any secular or judicial authority, as possessing Crown demesne (fiscum doTninicum). And as he has carefully inspected the charters of king William and his other prede- cessors, he again insists that the monks of Fecamp and their men are not to answer [any plea] concerning any holding of theirs or anything else except before him or his chief justice, and are to enjoy all their other rights.

Notification that a certain concord was made at (Original in archives. Estaninges between the abbot of Fecamp (Fiscannensis) and Cartu^ fo ^57 ) John de Tresgoz, concerning certain disputes between them as 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 48 1195. 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 1 The next nine witnesses omitted in Cartulary. ABBEY OF FECAMP. 49 1195.

The abbot and convent of Fecamp have complained that William de Marinis having obtained the church of Ria, through the abbey of Fecamp, pledging his oath to pay an annual pension of 13 marcs, refuses to pay that pension, in despite of ' All the other witnesses omitted in Cartulary. 2 " Sacrista de Cantuaria," in Cartulary, which omits all that follows. e 92684. ^ 50 ABBEY OF F:6CAMP. 1197. his oath.

Datum Laterani kal.

Whatever is mutually claimed for arrears has been amicably released before them. [1197.] 145. Notification by W[illiam] abbot of Thame, S[imon] (Original in archives, prior of St. Fritheswidis, and C[lement] prior of Osnnai that C tute^^° fo^^3^3 bis ■) *^®y have received a papal mandate thus worded : — [1197, 5 June.] [Pope] Celestine sends greeting and apostolical benediction to his dear sons, the abbot of Thame and the priors of St. Fritheswidis and of Osenai in the diocese of Lincoln. He learns from his dear sons the abbot and convent of Fdcamp that Laurence parson of Brede (vrede) and James son of Alard, strive wrongfully to detain the tithes of Wlfledemareis and of Winchenesel, in the diocese of Chichester, rightfully belonging to the monastery of F6camp, on the ground of a certain charter, alleged to be forged, granting those tithes. Unwilling that the monastery should on this ground, suffer the loss of its right, he enjoins on their discretion, if the case be so, to compel the said Laurence and James to restore those tithes, with the increase arising from them in the meanwhile, granting 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 1 Not in Jaff^.

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.

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.

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. Testes: Robertus de Novo Burgo ; Hasculfus de Folligneio^ ; Gislebertus de Campellis, et aliis multis.^ 1156.

Testes : Stephanus propositus ; Gislebertus Brito, et Gisle- bertus de Hoga. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. > Now Archive6 Rationales, L. 970 [in duplicate]. 296 ABBEY OP SAVIGNY. 1150, 12 Aug. 816.

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.

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.

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. 384 1186. ABBEY OF FONTEVRAULT.

Salisbury, Bartholomew of Exeter, Reginald of Worcester, Gilbert of London, and many other of his bishops, magnates, and barons, removed from their monastery and placed in other monasteries ; and nuns of Fontevrault were introduced to terve God there. He grants, therefore, to the abbey of Fontevrault the gift of his father king Henry, for the weal of his father, mother, and predecessors, namely the church of St. Mary and St. Melorus at Ambresberia, with all its appurtenances, eccle- siastical and secular, that the order of Fontevrault may be established there for ever, and a much larger convent of nuns than had been the case, should there serve God, under a prioress, according to the order of the abbey. He further confirms to the abbey the church of Eton, where nuns of its order dwell, which Robert earl of Leicester gave the abbey ; also the church of Westwod which " domina " Eustachia de Sale gave the nuns in accordance with their respective charters ; also the gift, by his father king Henry, of 601. worth of land, namely his manor of Lecton in Bedefordsyra for 5QI., with the land of Walter PuUanus, which is worth 32 shillings, which king Henry his father gave them in exchange for the mill which he gave the monks of Woburn' in the same manor, and in Bokingehasyra 4ra, p. 182.) subject to St. Florent, Saumur, all the churches on his land with their appurtenances, that is with all their tithes and other endowments, in the presence of lawful witnesses, whose names were Rado^ a monk of the^ said Guienoc, David the monk surnamed Taxius, Dodomand and Hervey the priests, ' No trace of seal. ^ Sic ; the name of this monk occurs elsewhere in the Cartulary. 410 ABBEY OF ST.

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.

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 : — [Signa] Willelmi comitis ; Maurilii archiepiscopi^ ; Gervasii episcopi^ ; Willelmi episcopi* ; Rotberti episcopi ; Rotberti comitis regis Anglorum filii ; Rotberti fihi Rotgerii de Bello- monte; Radulfi filii Erluini; Radulfi Pagani; Rotberti filii Rotgerii ; Ricardi comitis Ebroicse urbis ; Rotgerii de Monte Gomerico ; Radulfi camerarii ; Willelmi filii Osberti ; Hugonis vicecomitis de Monteforti ; Ricardi filii Onfredi ; Teodaldi Died 1064. ^ Archbishop of Bonen from September 1055.

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). » DomeBday I., 216. = « 1040." 424 ABBEY OF MARMOUTIER, TOURS. 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.

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.

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, Robert Bertrannus, William Marmion, Rainald Darsellus, Ralf Falchemandus, Humfrey, Turold, William son of Corbucio,^ Boncelin de Scoht, Raber and William de Vemone, Hugh son of Gerelm.

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 ' All original impression of this seal is now exhibited in the mueeam of the Public Record Office. 2 Trans. ; " TomsE.'' a Xrans. : " Norwico." l^BEt O^ St. :^ERTnf, ST.

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. Datum Anagnie vjo kalendas Augusti. [1177-1182.] (MS. History, &om original, scaled, ut supra.

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. Account of Fac-similes of National Manuscripts of Ireland.
