1256. Charter of Landri, abbot of S. Père de Chartres, and all the convent, notifying how the land they possess at Gouberville (Gausberti villa) was given them by a certain knight of noble origin, Richard by name, and granted by William, the most noble count of Normandy, and the said knight's brothers, William and Baldwin. |
| In the year when there came to an end the long war between king Henry and count William, the said knight Richard, had been sent with other Normans, by the count, to guard Timer (Tedmarum castrum), which was then, with its inhabitants, under anathema. Attacked, while there, by the illness from which he died, he was in great dread for his soul, and sent for Nigel, who had married his sister, with other friends, and begged that Geoffrey a monk of St. Père, 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 (Curtis 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, (fn. 5) Bencelin de Scoht, Raber and William de Vernone, Hugh son of Gerelm. It was also authorised by the brothers of the deceased William and Baldwin, that they also might be partakers. with their brother, in his reward etc. … Concessa est et roborata hæc donacio pridie nonas Augusti die qua mortuus est Hainricus rex Franciæ. | |

When, at length returning, they desired to deliver their judgment in the hearing of all, the claimant, anticipating, declared that he would have no judgment on his case, but would himself withdraw (quassavit) his claim. |
