Sed et ipsam partem de castellario, quæ nostræ emptioni est coutinua et ad ipsum pertinebat, emimus xxx solidis.

Manger, archbishop of Rouen, was the successor of Archbishop Robert, his paternal uncle, deceased in 1037, which see he retained until May, 1055. Blosseville, Eauplet, and Pont Honfroi, are in the immediate vicinity of the Mont de Rouen, and Sotteville-lez-Rouen lies next its suburb on the south side of the Seine. The use of the word castellarium, in the sense of castellaniæ districtus, attests the tenure of this land of Roger to have been annexed to the castle of Mortemer, and among the witnesses are the two sons of Roger, William and Hugh, the former of whom ratified the sale made by his father. Below in the same cartulary we read:

Item Rodulfus de Warenna, consensu uxoris suæ vocabulo Emmæ, domno Rainerio abbati et Monachis Sanctæ Trinitatis totam portionem suam silvæ montium Blovillæ et Scurræ septem libris denariorum vendidit, quarta feria ante Pascha Domini, Willelmo, inclito duce Normannorum, assensum prebente. S. ejusdem Willelmi comitis. S. ipsius Rodulfi. Signum Emmæ, uxoris ejus. S. Hugonis de Flamenvilla. S. Leudonis.
