Extract

267 Gift in free alms by Empress Matilda, daughter of King Henry and lady of the English, to Reading Abbey, for the souls of among others her father and mother, King Henry I and Queen Matilda, anf for the health and safety of among others her husband (dominus), Geoffrey duke of Normandy, and for the stability and peace of the kingdom of England, of the church of Berkeley with its appurtenances, viz., what the clerks there have, churches, chapels and tithes appurtenant to it

[1144 x 47]

A f 15v; B f 19r–v

Pd. Regesta, iii. 259 (no. 702)

Testibus: Roberto comite Gloecestr(ie), et Unfr(edo) de Buhun dapifero, et lohanne filio Gisleberti, et Willelmo Diffublato, et Gocelino Baillolo. Apud Divisas.

After Geoffrey became duke of Normandy, 23 Apr. 1144, and before the death of Robert, earl of Gloucester, 31 Oct. 1147. Cartulary A notes another charter by the same concerning the same. The history of the churches of Berkeley and its Hernesse in Stephen's reign is beset with complications (see B. R. Kemp, ‘The churches of Berkeley Hernesse’, Trans. Bristol and Glos. Archaeol. Soc, lxxxvii (1968), 96–110), but it is likely that this gift did not originate with the Empress but with Queen Adeliza and her clerk, Serlo (see nos. 268, 270).
