1435.Agreement between[Odo] the bishop of Bayeux and Rannulf the vicomte [of the Bessin], after long dispute between them, made at Bayeux, in the bishop’s house, these men of the bishop being present on his side: William son of Oger, (fn. 4) Helto, (fn. 5) Adam son of Hubert, (fn. 5) Adelold the chamberlain, (fn. 6) Robert de Sulleio; and on Rannulf’s side, Herbert son of Gonduin, William de Semilleio, Nigel son of Serlo. The terms were these:—Rannulf did fealty (fecit fidelitatis securitatem) to the bishop as his lord, by [pledging his] faith and by oath for [the safety of] his life and limbs and, as to the seizure of his body, that he would in no way attempt it. He also did him liege homage (fidelitatem ligiam) by oath (jurejurando) for all the land the bishop held that day, and all the land he should acquire by Rannulf’s counsel, so that Rannulf was to help the bishop to obtain it all. And he would assist him against all his assailants, saving his fealty to count Robert [of Normandy]. And the three sons of Rannulf were to recognise and observe his sworn promise to the bishop, and to do service for these lands, as holding them from [the bishop as] a lord, which lands Rannulf had not previously held of the bishop. [For] when the king [William I.] lay ill at Coutances, he took them away from the bishop, and made Rannulf hold them, but not from the bishop, etc. … So the bishop pledged himself for the safety of Robert’s life and limbs, as his man, and as to the seizure of his body, that he would in no way attempt it, and as to the land he held that day, and that he should acquire by the bishop’s counsel, the bishop was to assist him against all his assailants, saving his fealty (fide) to count Robert. The bishop also restored to Rannulf all the land he had already held of him except that of Nigel de Costentino. But Rannulf consented to accept an exchange for the land of Flavinnei and Gaveruz if the bishop wished him to do so. And the bishop gave him, as an addition all the land of Tortcapel and the land of Bernard son of Ilger, etc.… and every Easter marten skins and an ermine cape (erminium renonem) or thirty pounds in money of Rouen. [And] Rannulf gave the bishop, as sureties for this agreement, these his men: William de Semilleio, Herbert son of Gonduin, Hugh de Rosel, Ranulf son of Alan, Nigel son of Serlo, who, by Rannulf’s direction, pledged their faith to the bishop that they would keep him to this agreement, by their entreaties and advice, to the utmost of their power. And if they failed, they would witness to the truth, on the bishop’s behalf, against Rannulf. Similarly the bishop gave Rannulf, as sureties, these his men, Sanson, William son of Oger, Helto, Adelold the chamberlain, Robert de Sullei etc. … |
