cartulary

There is an interesting note of the outfit provided for an Austin nun of Lacock on her profession in 1395, attached to a page of the cartulary of that house.

A rhymed Latin account of a dispute in which the nuns of Ronceray at Angers were concerned, contained in a cartulary of Ronceray, is also ascribed to the poet, who there calls himself Hilarius Canonicus.

The document endorsed in the Cartulary seems the earlier one, and the differences have to be explained in all probability by some attempt on the part of the Monastery to set up a higher rent at the time of its compilation.

Generally speaking, the conditions described in the Hundred Roll are more irregular than those mentioned in the Cartulary.

I shall take the later Cartulary because it is a trifle fuller, and coincides in time with the Hundred Rolls.
