May 841, a sale by Boso and his wife Talasia to Raoul, then Abbot of Solignac, of lands in Billac, Aitreil and le Batu. Property at Raugiaco is also concerned, which has a fourth boundary on a public road, a manse at Acavenas and some land not located that the two sellers share with a pair of monks (presumably of Solignac, no other monastery yet being clear in the area, and this may explain the sale), along with eleven named slaves and their unnamed families, four of whom (Domedramn, Unald, Magna and Unisinda) are still there when the Billac property is moved on (in Beaulieu XIX & XXI), allowing us to place them there. This shows that the land is apparently moved out to his sister-in-law (or her erstwhile husband Raoul's brother Robert) before coming back into Raoul's hands to be donated. The price here is a massive 1500 solidi and the penalty is set at double this. One of the witnesses is a notary, who however signs that he 'heard' the document--so as not to have it thought it he wrote it?
