174 Confirmation by William [of Corbeil], archbishop of Canterbury, to Abbot Hugh [I] and the monks of Reading of the gifts made to the abbey by King Henry I—viz., Reading with its churches and chapels, Leominster with its churches and chapels, Thatcham, Cholsey and its church, which church with that of Wargrave the king obtained by exchange with the abbey of Mont StMichel and gave to Reading Abbey. The archbishop makes this confirmation because Reading, Leominster and Cholsey were formerly abbeys and have now been restored to Reading Abbey [1123 × 30]

^{page 170 note 1} The rubric of D (on f 19v) reads: Hec carta excerpta esl a carta generalis confirmationis Huberti W. [sic] episcopi Sar'.

^{page 170 note 2} He was the lord of Marlston in the parish of Bucklebury. His name is usually given as ‘Geoffrey’ (e.g. VCH Berks., iii. 292Google Scholar), but there is no apparent authority for this and ‘Gilbert’ is to be preferred. In the Reading charters he appears only as ‘G. Martel’ (see also nos. 224, 294–6), but the abbey was in dispute with a Gill' Martel in the 1190s (see no. 157) and a Gilbert Martel witnessed a charter relating to Sheffield (in Burghfield) in 1197 × 8 (Ancient Charters, 106). The holder of Marlston in 1220 was certainly Geoffrey (Fees, i. 301Google Scholar), but in 1241, assuming him to be the same, he was significantly said to be the son of Gilbert Martel (PRO JUST 1/37, m. 18; Humphreys, , Bucklebury, 334).Google Scholar

^{page 170 note 3} For this and the following expansions, see Sarum Charters and Documents, index.

^{page 170 note 4} For this expansion, see nos. 617 and 844, the former identifying him as ‘Roger of the abbot's chamber’. He was clearly a witness from the abbey's side.

^{page 171 note a} Benham B

^{page 171 note b} Lolindone C

^{page 171 note c} Tighelherst B, C

^{page 171 note d} Silhamsted' B, C

^{page 171 note e} Walingf' B, Walyngford' C

^{page 171 note f} Cumton' B, C

^{page 171 note g–g} Om. in B, C

^{page 171 note 1} No pension to the abbey from Tilehurst church is mentioned, but no. 211 gives ½ mark.

^{page 172 note a–a} Om. in B, C

^{page 172 note b–b} Om. in C

^{page 173 note a} Sic

^{page 174 note a} Possibly denotari

^{page 174 note b} archidiconali in Ms

^{page 174 note c} reii in Ms

^{page 174 note 1} Presumably the feast of St Philip and St James the Less (1 May), but with emphasis on St Philip in Reading's case since it had a head relic of St Philip (see no. 49 n.).

^{page 174 note 2} The feast of St James the Great (25 July). For many of the grants listed here, see nos. 184–99.

^{page 174 note 3} Presumably grants for the two feasts of St Philip and St James, and of St James the Great.

^{page 174 note 4} This almost certainly means other feasts and anniversaries throughout the year, rather than the whole year, since at least two of the indulgences listed relate to a specific anniversary (see below p. 176 n. 8). This would also explain why two indulg ences are listed for some prelates, presumably concerning different feasts.

^{page 174 note 5} See above n. 1.

^{page 175 note 1} An original indulgence of Archbishop Boniface survives, dated 2 March, 1254 (BL Add. Ch. 19624), but it cannot easily be identified with this or either of the other two indulgences listed here, since it grants 40 days indulgence for the Passion and Translation of St Thomas Becket.

^{page 175 note 2} See above p. 174 n. 2.

^{page 175 note 3} Cardinal bishop and papal legate to England at the end of the Interdict. A note of the 2O-day indulgence was added to the table of contents in A (f 5v).

^{page 175 note 4} See above n. 1.

^{page 175 note 5} See above p. 174 n. 3.

^{page 176 note 1} Either Thomas or Thomas O Cuinn.

^{page 176 note 2} Either Donatus O h-Enni or Donatus O Cinneide.

^{page 176 note 3} Either William of Saltmarsh (1186–91) or William de Goldcliff (1219–29) or William de Burgh (1245–53) or William of Radnor (1257–66).

^{page 176 note 4} See above p. 174 n. 4.

^{page 176 note 5} Either Richard of Dover or Richard Grant.

^{page 176 note 6} See above p. 175 n. 1.

^{page 176 note 7} Either William the Templar, formerly abbot of Reading, or William Amanevi de Geniès (Gallia Christiana, iii. 819–22).

^{page 176 note 8} It is clear from no. 210 that the grant was for the anniversary of the dedication of the Infirmary chapel or its octave.

^{page 176 note 9} A note of this grant was added to the table of contents in A (f 5v).

^{page 177 note 1} Either William Longchamp or William of Kilkenny.

^{page 177 note 2} See above p. 176 n. 8.

^{page 177 note 3} Either Hugh of Northwold or Hugh Balsham.

^{page 177 note 4} See previous note.

^{page 177 note 5} These are the dates of William du Perche, bishop of Châlons-sur-Marne, but the identification of the bishopric is uncertain; possibly Caithness—William, bishop of Caithness, c. 1250–61.

^{page 177 note 6} See previous note.

^{page 177 note 7} Bishopric unidentified; it appears to be Leighlin, but no bishop Alexander is listed (Handbook of Brit. Chron.).

^{page 177 note 8} See previous note.

^{page 177 note 9} See above p. 176 n. 1.

^{page 177 note 10} Bishopric unidentified; if the cartulary scribe copied its name correctly, it would be St Davids, but no bishop Maurice is listed (Handbook of Brit. Chron.).

^{page 177 note 11} Unidentified; possibly a mistake for either Andrew or Archibald, bishops of Moray (1223/4–42 and 1253–98), in which case the Latin should read Moraviens'.

^{page 178 note 1} Either Richard Poore or Richard Wich.

^{page 178 note 2} No Richard appears in the list of bishops of Waterford before 1338.

^{page 178 note 3} Either Robert I or Robert II.

^{page 178 note 4} Bishopric unidentified; possibly Aire—William, bishop of Aire, c. 1188–c. 1194 (Gams, P. B., Series Episcoporum Ecclesiae CatholicaeGoogle Scholar (reprinted, Leipzig, 1931), 480).

^{page 178 note 5} Either Thomas O Ruadhan or Thomas O Maicin.

^{page 178 note 6} See above p. 175 n. 3

^{page 178 note 7} Gallia Christiana, iii. 32–3. He wrote a Life of Becket, with whom he had been ‘joined in friendship’ (ibid.).

^{page 178 note 8} He acted as a suffragan bishop in the diocese of Liège from 1226 and in that of Coutances from 1231 (Eubel, C., Hierarchia Catholica Medii Aevi, i (2nd edn, Münster, 1913). 500Google Scholar. ‘Trojan’ n.1).

^{page 178 note 9} Presumably either Roger Weseham or Roger Longespée, bishops of Coventry and Lichfield, and not Roger de Clinton, bishop of Chester 1129–48.

^{page 178 note 10} Either Hugh de Mapenore or Hugh Foliot.

^{page 179 note a} The numbers of days are given in Roman numerals with dies after the first item and d' after the rest

^{page 179 note b} episcopus is om. for every bishop after the fast in each section

^{page 179 note c} This item entered in slightly later hand, the days granted not being included in the total at the head of this section

^{page 179 note d} Ms has ‘Richard’, but see above, no. 193

^{page 179 note e} Ms has ‘Elias’, but see above, no. 188

^{page 179 note f} Sic

^{page 179 note g} Supplied, since not a bishop (cf. b)

^{page 179 note 1} See above p. 176 n. 3.
