Nov. 879x84, a donation of the church of St-Martial de Bar and some property in Rouffiac by a couple by the names of Sicard and Ingelsendis to St-Pierre de Beaulieu. The abbey is called a mother-church, suggesting it is doing wider work than just monastic prayer. The church has a whack of associated property including a baccalaria, something also possessed by the four manses in Rouffiac. These are held partly by tenants and partly by slaves, one of the latter of whom is called Archambald which at least helps demonstrate that that name is not the sole preserve of the Castelnau lineage. The donor's brother is a priest called Adalgar (who witnesses), there was or is another brother called Adrian (who does not) and their father was called Madalbert, their mother Dadildis. Sicard retains the usufruct under a cens of 10 solidi to be paid on Holy Innocents, and if the abbey alienates him that condition will revert to whatever of the kind wish to take it on. The penalty clause threatens the good old portion with Judas in the Inferno that we know from the Catalan documents, but this is none of it usual formulae for the Beaulieu documents at all, this can't have been an abbey scribe.
