A 12TH-CENTURY CHARTER recording benefactions to an Abbey, in Latin and French, DECORATED MANUSCRIPT ON VELLUM, France, Milly-la-Forêt [c.1145-50]
230 x 180mm. 23 lines written in brown ink in a protogothic documentary hand, ONE TWO-LINE DECORATED INITIAL, docketing on verso with 17th- and 18th-century inscriptions (a few small stains, some browning). A SIGNIFICANT HISTORICAL DOCUMENT FROM THE TIME OF LOUIS VII recording gifts made to the Benedictine Abbey of Rozoy-le-Vieil in the Diocese of Sens (destroyed during the 100-Years War, and subsequently transferred to Ervauville and renamed Rozoy-le-Jeune) by Letuisa of Milly, wife of Jean de Cousance, and her sons Guillaume and Buroardus, who agree to donate portions of the harvest from their lands. The same family is mentioned in a charter of 1136 regarding land donated to Notre-Dame de Longpont (Le cartulaire du prieuré de Notre-Dame de Longpont de l'ordre de Cluny au diocèse de Paris, Lyon, 1870, XIII, p.196). In the present charter, Letuisa is guided by divine command (nutu divino ammonita) and the donations are witnessed by the archdeacon Simon (who also appears in a charter signed by Hugues Archbishop of Sens in 1142 concerning a settlement with the Abbey of Saint-Victor over a mill), the crusader Arnulfus (Arnulfus ierosolomitanus), the hunchback knight Stephanus (miles gibosus), and other officials of the Church. The gifts were made in the same year in which the Milly brothers "set out for Jerusalem for the sake of the Lord" - this could be on pilgrimage, or, more tantalizingly, they could be departing on the SECOND CRUSADE in 1147.
