Beaulieu CXXXIX

Created Friday 18 April 2014

May 948, a donation to St-Pierre de Beaulieu by Godfrid and Alcuin of a manse in 'Ferrarias', excepting a vine that his (whose?) daughter Gauzberga already gave; his (whose) son Gerald is to hold this for his life under a cens of one denarius of wax due on St Peter's Day (unusually, the wax usually comes in on Martinmas). Then they cede a vine that belonged to the late Autero (they say), measured at 12 denariatas and bounded on two sides by Beaulieu land already, with St-Pierre de Mauriac holding the third side and the fourth being a river. This too is withheld in usufruct under a cens of four denarii in wax (again on St Peter's), suitable enough since this part of the gift is explicitly for lighting the altar. I suppose that these two gifts are separate ones done on the same occasion and that the former, with its family referents, is Godfrid's and the latter Alcuin's, but there's not really much telling.
