Twenty-two old Latin charters relating to lands in the Channel Islands
Twenty-two old Latin charters, ranging in date from 965 to 1122 (a few as confirmed later), relating to lands in the Channel Islands, especially Guernsey, copied in quasi-facsimile.
Of these:
- the first eighteen are grants to the abbey of Mont St. Michel, 965-about 1060;
- one to the abbey of St. Sauveur-le-Vicomte, about 1080 (fol. 31);
- two to the church of S. Maria de Voto at Cherbourg, about 1060-1122 (fol. 35);
- and one to the abbey of Marmoutier at Tours, c. 1050-60 (fo1. 41): this last is a copy by capt. B. Williams of Hillingdon.
Capt. B. Williams of Hillingdon states (in a letter at fo1. 2) that the charters are copied from some collected by John Metivier, esq., of Guernsey.
