Preface

The twelfth-century Cartulary of St.-Marcel-Ies-Chalon is one of the mostimportant sources for the history of Burgundy in the early Middle Ages. In-cluding documents that range from a privilege of Charlemagne in the lateeighth century to small gifts from the local petty aristocracy in the earlytwelfth century, the cartulary gives insights both into the attempts of a Bene-dictine house to establish and maintain a reformed monastic life and into thesecular society that surrounded and interacted with the monks. Although thecartulary was printed once before, a century ago, the inadequacies of that edi-tion and the value of the material found in the cartulary have made a new edi-tion necessary.

I would like to express my appreciation to the staff of the Bibliotheque na-tionale de France for their assistance and to the anonymous reader for the Me-dieval Academy for his meticulous reading of the edition in manuscript. LukeWenger and Jacqueline Brown at the Academy were very supportive through-out the project. Work on this edition in 1992 and 1993 was assisted bygenerous grants from the University of Akron Faculty Research Committee.

Introduction

The Cartulary of St.-Marcel-les-Chalon was composed in the first half of thetwelfth century and includes documents from between the eighth and thetwelfth centuries. The basilica of St.-Marcel was originally founded to honora second-century missionary, Marcellus, who came up the Saone valley fromLyon and reached the villa of Hubiliacus, across the river from Chalon, beforebeing martyred.1 The basilica at Hubiliacus acquired a community of monksat the end of the sixth century, and it was served variously by monks and can-ons during the early Middle Ages. The house of St.-Marcel is an almost clas-sic example of the vicissitudes of medieval religious communities: a monas-tery in the Merovingian period, a house controlled in the Carolingian periodby powerful laymen who regulated the house's affairs and received much of itsrevenues, it was newly reformed under Cluny's direction in the late tenth andeleventh centuries. The cartulary of this house is one of the principal sourcesof information on the history of Burgundy in the early Middle Ages.

The exact date of the establishment of monks at the basilica is not knownfrom contemporary records, but is certainly close to the date of 584 given bythe Merovingian chronicler Fredegar. In 579 the council of Chalon hadstripped two bishops of their offices and had them imprisoned in the basilica,which was apparently not yet served by monks. King Guntram of Burgundy(d. 592) was responsible for making St.-Marcel a monastery, even though hisfoundation charter (document 7) is a forgery from five centuries later. Hemade several generous gifts to St.-Marcel, including a golden canopy he hadoriginally intended for the church of the Sepulchre in Jerusalem, as well asestablishing a body of monks there, stipulating that they follow the obser-vance of St.-Maurice of Agaune. This rule was relatively popular in Mero-vingian Gaul; under it the monks lived in separate cells in which theyengaged in perpetual hymns and prayer. The 583-85 Council of Valenceconfirmed whatever King Guntram or his wife or daughter might give to thebasilica of St.-Marcel. Thus, St.-Marcel was one of the last monasticfoundations in Burgundy before the arrival there around 590 of Irish-influencedmonasticism under Saint Columbanus.2

2 Introduction

After the monastery's propitious beginning, however, it disappears fromthe records. The next time it appears, two centuries later, to receive a priv-ilege from Charlemagne (document 3), it was ruled by a magnificus vir namedHucbert, who acted as rector of the house. From the eighth century until theend of the tenth century, Burgundian lords normally held the abbey of St.-Marcel, with (sometimes) provosts governing under them. During this timethe house seems to have been served by canons, not monks. Count Warinheld the church, served by canons, when Louis the Pious made St.-Marcel agift in 835 (document 4). Charles the Bald himself took the governance ofSt.-Marcel in 870.3

The decay of a regular life at St.-Marcel is reflected in the small number ofauthentic charters preserved in the cartulary for the century and a half afterLouis the Pious's gift of 835. There are only eight, including two versionsof an 878 privilege of Pope John VIII (documents 5 and 8). Two Benedictinemonasteries in the diocese of Chalon attracted much more attention (and moregifts) during the late ninth and tenth centuries than did St.-Marcel: St.-Phili-bert of Tournus, which was established in 875 by Charles the Bald for monksfleeing the Vikings, and St.-Pierre of Chalon, which, along with a few otherBurgundian houses maintaining a regular life, formed an association ofprayers in the 890s.4

In the 980s, however, Count Geoffrey Greymantle of Anjou (d. 987), whowas acting as count of Chalon because of his marriage to the widowedCountess Adelaide, gave St.-Marcel to Cluny to be reformed. The gift wasconfirmed in 999 by Count Hugh of Chalon, who had inherited the monasteryas well as the county of Chalon from his father, Adelaide's first husband.5

St.-Marcel became a priory, dependent on Cluny's abbot, and remained so,unlike many other Burgundian houses that regained their own abbots after aperiod under Cluny's direction. Indeed, the name of the abbot of Cluny wassometimes given more emphasis in the house's charters than the name of theprior.6 St.-Marcel's priors kept a low profile in the eleventh and twelfthcenturies; they are scarcely mentioned in the charters of nearby houses. Oneof the few significant events to take place at the house in this period was the1142 death of Peter Abelard. All three of the old Benedictine monasteries in

Introduction 3

the diocese of Chalon (St.-Marcel, St.-Pierre, and Tournus) were over-shadowed in the twelfth century by the new Cistercian foundations there:Citeaux itself, founded in 1098, and then La Ferte, Citeaux's first daughter,founded in 1113, and Maizieres, founded in 1132.7 Thus, most of ourinformation about the house of St.-Marcel comes from the cartulary itself.

The twelfth-century cartulary is in Paris at the Bibliotheque nationale deFrance, MS nouv. acq. lat. 496. It is made up of approximately 122 charters,depending on how one counts.8 The cartulary includes authentic charters frombetween 779, a privilege of Charlemagne, and the 1120s, when presumablythe cartulary was compiled. Other than the one document of Charlemagne, allthe original charters on which the cartulary was based are long lost.9 Severalcopies were made of the cartulary in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.The editions of individual charters, including the earliest (by Sainct Julien,1581), are all based on the cartulary—or, in some cases (like the GC), on alater copy made from the cartulary.

Although the complete cartulary of St.-Marcel was published a century agoby Marcel and Paul Canat de Chizy, scholars have agreed almost since the daythat this edition appeared that it needed to be redone. Part of the problem wasthat the younger brother (Paul) had to finish the work from his older brother'snotes after the latter had died. The brothers also did not use the rigorousstandards of modern editions. For example, their edition commonly regular-ized the Latin to more classical forms than the scribe used (without notingthat they did so), and they did not identify the places mentioned. I havetherefore not found it useful to enumerate the great many instances in whichthe Canat de Chizy edition differs from the present one.

7For these houses, see Bouchard, Holy Entrepreneurs, p. 10. The only other monastic housein the diocese in this period was the tiny house of Notre-Dame of Losne, which traced itsorigins to the seventh century but does not seem to have had monks most of that time; it washeld in the eleventh century first by the king, then by the bishop of Chalon, then by themonastery of Beze, and finally became an ecclesia under Cluny's direction at the end of thecentury. See Bouchard, "Merovingian, Carolingian, and Cluniac Monasticism," p. 385.

8I have treated as separate each charter for which the scribe gave a new rubric, with oneexception: document 35, which the scribe mistakenly made into two charters by reading thename of the prior, "Alvisus," as "Alia." Previous editions of some of the charters, however,have treated as one charter those (such as documents 31-32) in which the second is aconfirmation of the first. My numbering differs from that of the Canat de Chizy edition almostfrom the beginning because those editors omitted my document 8, which is in many ways a rep-etition of document 5.

9When Mabillon went looking for original charters in Burgundy in the seventeenth century,he found nothing at St.-Marcel; see Cazet, "Souvenirs historiques sur l'e'glise S. Vincent deChalon," p. 157.

Introduction

THIS EDITION

Edition of the cartulary presents few paleographical problems. It is writtenin a clear early-twelfth-century bookhand. The biggest challenge sometimeswas deciding where one word stopped and another started, as the scribe mightput a space in the middle of a word or run two words together—for example,did he mean "a Deo" or "adeo"? There are a number of later (sixteenth-through eighteenth-century) annotations on the manuscript, all of which Ihave ignored; most do little more than write a proper name in the margin. Inediting I have restored regular word breaks and have used essentially thescribe's punctuation and, to some degree, his system of capitalization. Thescribe used a point (or period) for almost all pauses. I have represented thepoint as a comma when the scribe began the following word with a lowercaseletter. When he began the following word with a capital letter, the point isrepresented in the edition as a period. (In all other instances capitalization hasbeen changed to follow modern conventions.) I have also used a period forthe scribe's occasional punctuation mark that looks like a modem semicolon,marking the end of an unusually long sentence or list.

I have reproduced the scribe's spelling exactly, except that I have expandedabbreviations. I have made no attempt to classicize the often rather unusualLatin spellings. Thus, the cartulary really does read "Auctum" (rather than"Actum") in the dating formula of document 2, and uses "nichilhominus" and"aeclesia" as variant spellings for "nihilominus" and "ecclesia." In the veryfew places where I have corrected the scribe's spelling in order to avoid con-fusion, I have so noted in a footnote. The e cedilla, which the scribe usedfrequently, is represented in this edition by the ae diphthong. Following thescribe, I have used V for both U and V in uppercase letters and u for both uand v in lowercase letters, except for roman numerals, where I give v.

For each document, I indicate where it is found in the cartulary and in themanuscript copies of the cartulary and also in previous editions. Because allof the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century manuscripts were copied from thecartulary (or a copy of the cartulary), I have not noted their variants. Mostcopyists made attempts to classicize the Latin; some condensed the charters;and some varied word order. Similarly, I have not given the variants fromother editions, except for noting where a modem critical edition (e.g., theMGH) has suggested a useful emendation. The only document with an ap-paratus per se is no. 3, because it is the only one for which the original sur-vives.

I have maintained the order of the charters as given in the cartulary, ratherthan trying to reorder them chronologically. The scribe made no attempt toorder the charters by date, although it may be noted that he put most of theearly charters early in his cartulary, and the latter part of the cartulary is

mostly made up of later charters. A chronological cross-listing of the chartersfollows this Introduction. The cartulary was put together in its present formby a scribe with a certain purpose in mind, and it is therefore important tomaintain its structure as well as its content. 10 For that reason, I have alsomade no attempt to introduce "lost charters" or "mentions of charters" intothis edition of the cartulary. It would at any rate be difficult in some cases toknow how to arrange the documents, how to order those that are not dated,even whether to enter the three forged documents under their purported dates,or under the date at which one might suppose they were actually composed, oreven in an appendix, where one would miss their significance to a scribe whoproudly started his cartulary with the privileges of a pope and of an emperorwhich he, at any rate, thought authentic.

It is possible to date the majority of the charters fairly closely (at leastwithin a few decades). However, the dating formula may often includediscrepancies (e.g., the year of the Incarnation, the indiction, and the epactwill suggest different years), and, in common with their counterparts at othermonasteries, the scribes at St.-Marcel seem to have dated some early-eleventh-century charters by the date of Robert II's original coronation (while his fatherwas still alive) and others by his accession as sole king.n Although most ofthe charters dated by a king's regnal year refer to the French king, a handful ofdocuments given in the 1090s are instead dated by the emperor. This mayseem surprising, since St.-Marcel was not in the empire, which started some-what east of Chalon in the region of Besancon (the old kingdom of Burgun-dy). The explanation may lie in the marital difficulties of Philip I of Francein this period; during the time that he was excommunicated by the pope, thescribes at St.-Marcel may not have wanted to date their charters by him.

THE MANUSCRIPTS

BnF MS nouv. acq. lat. 496 (formerly catalogued as MS nouv. acq.lat. 1676).12 This is the twelfth-century cartulary of St.-Marcel. It is aparchment codex of ninety-three folios, numbered consecutively through folioeighty-nine in an early-modern hand (because of misnumbering, there is nofolio 78), plus a preliminary folio. The text of the cartulary fills eighty-eightfolios (those numbered one through eighty-nine). The codex was bound inbrown calf in 1973, at which time an extra parchment leaf was added to both

the front and the back. The tightness of the modern binding makes it difficultto be certain, but there appear to be ten gatherings, of eight to ten folios each.The folios measure 27 cm tall by 16 cm wide. The parchment is cream-colored, usually even, although there are a few gaps around the edges and afew holes, all of which appear original. The folios are lined lightly in pencil;in a few places one can see the pin pricks in the margin that marked theruling. The written area measures 19 cm by 11 cm. On most pages there aretwenty-one or twenty-three lines, although on the last page there are twenty-eight. The text is written in a dark brown ink, all in the same hand, with redinitials and headings in the same or a contemporary hand. The scribe orig-inally wrote the headings vertically in the margin, in very small letters, forlater reference. Most of these were trimmed away at the time of the originalbinding, but one may still be seen on fol. 24r. The codex was acquired by theBnF in 1891 from the bookdealer J.-P. Abel Jeandet of Verdun. Before that,it had presumably belonged to the Canat de Chizy family, because theiredition used it (even though it is not listed among the manuscripts consulted),and it was probably sold to the bookdealer after Marcel Canat de Chizy died.13

ST.-MARCEL'S PROPERTY

St.-Marcel was never a wealthy monastery, and the majority of its pos-sessions were located within a relatively small area no more than a few hours'ride from Chalon. The property was concentrated in two areas: very close toChalon, on both sides of the Saone; and east of the monastery, around Ver-dun.17 With the exception of a church in the castle of Traves, given to themonks in the 1070s,18 their most distant possession was Fleurey-sur-Ouche,in the pagus of M6mont, some 60 km away; this was given to themoriginally by Louis the Pious and restored to St.-Marcel in the 1070s.Although the monks seem to have added to their patrimony at least inter-mittently since their foundation, the bulk of their acquisitions were made in

''Apparently confused by the old St.-Germain numbering, Paul Canat de Chizy (pp. v-vi)listed MS lat. 12824 and St.-Germain lat. 1055/2 as two separate manuscripts.

16The Canat de Chizy edition, done before the inventory of series H at Arch. Sa6ne-et-Loire, lists two separate collections of copies of charters of St.-Marcel, which were probablycombined under one number. It also lists copies at the Archives departememales de la Cote-d'Or at Dijon, where there are at present no St.-Marcel documents; either the editors weremistaken, or the copies were sent from Dijon to Macon. See Canat de Chizy, p. vi.

Ishall not attempt to repeat her discussion here.

the two generations before the composition of the cartulary in the 1120s; 80of the 122 documents date from after 1O7O.!9

It has been possible to identify most of the places mentioned in the car-tulary. The Burgundian rural landscape has changed little since the eleventhcentury; names of villae listed in the cartulary persist in the names of modernvillages. In identifying places, rather than use the French convention of giv-ing modern department, arrondissement, and canton, which is at best anach-ronistic, I have given their location by direction and distance from a landmark,usually St.-Marcel itself. This should make it easy to find the places men-tioned on a map.

The property the monks thought most important was enumerated in threeforged charters: a purported foundation charter from the end of the sixth cen-tury (document 7) and confirmations of their possessions by the pope and byCharles the Fat, both supposedly given in 872 (documents 1-2). These threecharters mostly list properties also found elsewhere in the cartulary, incharters drawn up when the monks received the property as gifts. For exam-ple, Count Theobold of Chalon gave a villa to the monks in the mid-eleventhcentury, saying that his ancestors had taken it from them long ago (document31), and this villa was listed in all three forged documents when they werecomposed a generation later. But, interestingly, in their forged charters themonks not only enumerated much of their eleventh-century property but alsolaid claim to some distant property that there is no indication they ever had,such as Orval (Paray-le-Monial). For the most part, the place-names found inthe forged documents and nowhere else cannot be identified; the forger mayhave been filling out his list.

The forgeries are fairly obvious. They refer to nonexistent popes andbishops, and document 1 refers to the county of Chalon, rather than thepagus, as a ninth-century document would have done, and to immunity fromthe "duke of Burgundy," an office that did not yet exist. St.-Marcel's forgedcharters were most likely drawn up in the 1070s. They refer to the monks'property at Traves and Ruffey, which they had acquired only early in thedecade (documents 33, 74-76). A council held at Palleau between 1075 and1078 referred to King Guntram's foundation charter (document 7) as though itwere authentic (document 35), so the forgeries must have been, done bythen.20

Land made up by far the majority of the property the monks received.Usually it was agricultural land, including fields for crops and pastures forlivestock, occasionally a vineyard. In some cases the land came complete

with the servile men and women (servi et ancillae) who worked it (e.g.,documents 17 and 25); most likely these serfs would continue under the samelegal and economic conditions as before, except that now they would owetheir rents and dues to the monks. Mentions of serfs disappear at the end ofthe eleventh century—to be replaced by such terms as rustici, who might alsobe given with the land (e.g., documents 41 and 122)—at the time whenserfdom died out throughout this region of France.21

It is impossible to determine the exact extent of the land belonging to themonks because the charters never specified the surface area of the propertygiven and only occasionally the boundaries. These boundaries were generallygiven in terms of who owned or worked the adjacent property (e.g.,documents 27 and 101) or, at most, specified that the public road ran by oneside (e.g., documents 15 and 17), which is scarcely informative nine hundredyears later. Only in one document (no. 30) are the lengths of the sides of thedonated property specified in rods (perticae) and feet (pedes), and there is noway to be sure exactly how long an eleventh-century Chalonnais rod or footmight have been. Although some land the monks were given at Oslon wascarefully specified as being twenty-two furrows wide (seliones), the length ofthe furrows is not given (the document noted only that the furrows abuttedlands of the church of St.-Pierre at one end and of one Bernard at the other),and even their width must be conjectural (document 97). Frequently theproperty was specified only with the phrase, "whatever I have there" (e.g.,document 38) or, scarcely more helpful, "as much as can be plowed in a day"(a gift in 1020 included four jornales of land, document 13). In several cases(documents 4, 44, 45, and 67) the monks received an entire villa, but evenhere one has no idea of the dimensions.

The most common measurement of land used, if one was used at all, wasthe manse (mansus) or the curtilis. These units theoretically defined the landneeded to support one peasant family—and might even be identified by thename of the principal cultivator (e.g., documents 85 and 109, both fromabout 1090)—and cannot be translated into modern hectares or the like. Landnormally came with appurtenances, including rights to pasturage and forestusage. The curtilis a priest gave the monks at the beginning of the eleventhcentury, for example (document 16), included fields, meadows, waters, andcommunal grazing rights.22

Noble families such as the lords of Navilly or Chatenoy, who appear withsome frequency in the house's records, tended repeatedly to give property inthe same general area, where presumably their own holdings were concen-trated, but each powerful donor gave property located in a different villa.

10 Introduction

Because the monks thus acquired their property piece by piece, they musthave owned widely scattered parcels. As their charters record no effort (suchas the Cistercians later made) to consolidate their holdings, it is notsurprising that the monks were content to let the families who had long livedon these parcels continue there, as long as they paid their rents.

As well as receiving land, the monks also received churches, such as St.-Laurent of Chalon, which they claimed to have had from early in their historyand which was confirmed to them at a council in 873 (document 29), andRuffey, given to them in the 1070s or 1080s by the archbishop of Besancon(documents 74 and 75).23 Interestingly, the monks received almost all theirchurches from laymen during the 1070s, so these acquisitions may be a resultof the Gregorian Reform, never mentioned directly in the documents. Thelord of Traves built a chapel in his castle in the 1070s, dedicated it to SaintMarcel, and gave it to the monks (document 33). The lord of Navilly and hisbrother, the archdeacon of Besancon, gave St.-Marcel the church of St.-Laurent of Pontoux in 1073, saying that their father had intended to give it tothe monks before he died (document 41). After this lord died a few years later,his heirs added the castle chapel of Navilly to his gift (document 42). Agroup of brothers and cousins gave St.-Marcel the church of St.-Martin ofAluze in 1074 (document 50). A council of Burgundian princes decided toreturn the church of Fleurey to St.-Marcel after Duke Robert I died there in1075, a gift that the bishop of Langres then confirmed (documents 35 and37). Though gifts of churches from laymen to St.-Marcel stop after the1070s, perhaps because they had already given all the ones they had to give,church leaders continued to make such gifts. The archbishop of Besanconadded to his original gift of the church of Ruffey by giving the monks thenearby church of St.-Aignan a decade or so later (document 77), and thebishop and canons of Chalon gave St.-Marcel the church at Bouhans in 1114(documents 78 and 79).

A few of the donated churches, including Ruffey, became priories, or rathercells; although they were headed by priors (see document 81 for Ruffey), noneseem ever to have housed more than a few monks. St.-Laurent of Pontoux,for example, had a small house for one monk attached to it when Lord Gui ofVerdun burned it down a decade or so after it was given to the monks (docu-ment 45). Other churches remained parish churches, having, it appears, par-ish priests appointed by St.-Marcel.

23Chauney confuses St.-Marcel's church at Ruffey-sur-Seille, 46 km east of the abbey,with St.-Benigne's priory of Ruffey-les-Echirey, located just north of Dijon; see "Le temporeldu prieure' de Saint-Marcel," p. 69. For St.-B6nigne's acquisition of Ruffey-les-Echirey, seeChevrier et al., eds., Charles et documents de Saint-Binigne de Dijon, pp. 58-59, no. 21.

Introduction 11

A few other miscellaneous sorts of property are also listed in the charters,including a fishpond given by Count Hugh II of Chalon (document 12);pasture rights for pigs, which the monks received at the end of the tenthcentury (document 21); a mill given by the lady of Aluze at the beginning ofthe twelfth century (document 56); and, in the 1120s, freedom from the tollsthat had led to a quarrel between the monks and the lord of Verdun (document49).

The majority of property of whatever kind was given to the monks in freealms. Frequently, though certainly not always, the donor specified thespiritual benefit that would result from the gift, such as his or his relatives'salvation (e.g., documents 13 and 52), his acceptance as a monk (e.g., docu-ments 51, 58, 62, and 67), an anniversary observance (e.g., document 88), orburial at the monastery (e.g., documents 20, 23, and 68). The relationshipbetween a gift and death was so strong that, several times in the eleventhcentury, the donor might say that the gift he made for his soul would takeeffect only after he died (e.g., documents 16 and 57) or even that if herecovered from what appeared to be a fatal illness, he could take his donationback again (document 22). Since gifts were normally specified as going tothe saints to whom the monastery was dedicated (Saint Marcel and, after thehouse became a Cluniac priory, Saint Peter), rather than specifically to themonks, the donor could, without necessarily establishing certain prayers, setup a special relationship to those who had God's ear.24

In some cases the charters note that the donor had given the monksproperty that should already have been rightfully theirs (e.g., documents 19,20, and 31), and, as at many houses, some heirs were initially reluctant torecognize their late fathers' gifts (e.g., documents 40, 53, and 57), but thecartulary provides few details on conflict resolution. Usually the existence ofa quarrel is known only because of a rather laconic mention that it had beensettled, usually after the monks made the claimants a small payment (e.g.,documents 102 and 103). The most serious quarrel recorded was a dispute in1104 over serfs at Fleurey between the monks and Duke Hugh II of Burgundy(document 36), in which the duke yielded only after the monks offered him apalfrey and 200 solidi.

There are also a few examples of other sorts of transactions in St.-Marcel'scharters: exchanges, purchases of property, and pawning. These remain asmall minority, however; such forms of economic exchange began to be com-mon in Burgundy only in the 1130s and 1140s, after the date of the compo-sition of the cartulary.25 Indeed, the use of the term pignus in document 51

12 Introduction

(c. 1075-c. 1085) is one of the earliest occurrences in the region of that termto designate a piece of property given as security against a cash advance, to beredeemed at a later date. A few sales are found in the documents from the endof the tenth century onward (e.g., documents 24 and 26), but only a few.26

Most of the economic transactions (as opposed to gifts) seem to haveinvolved pieces of property the monks especially wanted, such as vineyards(e.g., documents 26, 64, and 81), or else reflect the sellers' need to raisemoney quickly, such as when leaving on Crusade (e.g., document 68).

The donors and the people who otherwise transferred property to St.-Marcelcame from a wide social spectrum, from kings and bishops to dukes andcounts to castellans and petty landowners. The counts of Chalon, havingbeen responsible for the abbey's reform to Cluny's ordo, continued to makegifts and confirm the abbey's possessions for the next century and a half (e.g.,documents 6, 9, 11, 12, 108). Petty landowners predominate, however, atleast in numbers of transactions, during much of the eleventh century. Earlyin the century, for example, one Ubald, known only by his proper name, gavethe monks his entire inheritance, including peasant tenancies, fields,meadows, vineyards, and waters, located in four villae (document 14). TheChalonnais, like the rest of Burgundy in the eleventh century, seems to havehad a population of free allodists, not particularly wealthy, not knights ornobles (although the knights in the increasingly common castles may wellhave come originally from this social group),27 but wealthy enough to makegifts to their monastic neighbors.2** Although the knights and castellans be-come more common in the house's charters in the final decades of the elev-enth century, many of the first donors to St.-Marcel after it became a Cluniacpriory were not the most powerful. Also, almost never do the charters recordthe consent of a feudal lord to a property transfer.29

The charters in which these transactions were recorded were almost alwaysdrawn up by the monks themselves. Unlike their Cistercian neighbors in thetwelfth century,30 the monks of St.-Marcel did not ask the bishop of Chalonto draw up their charters. In fact, except for the great privileges (those of

26See also Chauney, "Le temporel du prieure de Saint-Marcel," p. 58.27The first knight (miles) to be so designated in a charter is one Bernard, in document 51,

from around 1075. Since he is called a nobilis miles, he is probably not a serving knight but oneof the men of noble birth who, Georges Duby has argued, began defining themselves militarilyduring this period; see The Chivalrous Society, pp. 174-76. See also Chauney, "Le temporel duprieur£ de Saint-Marcel," p. 54.

28Durand, identified only by his name, gave the monks a sizable piece of property, includ-ing a vineyard, in the eleventh century for his parents' souls, specifying that it was alodiumiuris mei; see document 30.

29Two exceptions, both from the 1090s, are documents 43 and 46, both involving vassals ofthelordofNavilly.

Charlemagne and John VIII, plus the forgeries) and the charters of the mostpowerful laymen, St.-Marcel's documents were local productions. They weredrawn up sometimes, but not always, by someone identified as the chancellor{cancellarius). Some names recur in the Datum per manum clause, butenough different monks are listed, even for charters issued close together intime, to indicate that drawing up charters was not the exclusive responsibilityof one individual.

*"Ogniacus," "Liliacus," Arc-sur-Tille (12 km northeast of Dijon), "Patriacus," "Don-tiacus," and the church at "Mons Laschonis" are listed only in the three forged documents."Letua" was restored to St.-Marcel by Count Theobold in the mid-eleventh century; seedocument 31.

Chatenoy is 3 km northeast of St.-Marcel."Sauriacus," which I have not identified, is also found in documents 9 and 15, from around theyear 1000.

7Orval was the original name of Paray-le-Monial. Like St.-Marcel, Paray had been con-trolled by the counts of Chalon, then given to Cluny as a priory at the end of the tenth century.The insertion of Paray into this forged papal privilege seems to be some sort of attempt to assertseniority. Like Paray, Belleneuve (18 km northeast of Dijon) is found only in the forgeddocuments.

This is an obvious forgery. There was no Pope Agapitus in the ninth century,and the bishop of Chalon in 872 was named Girbald.'0 The dating formula isbased on the authentic 878 privilege of Pope John VIII for St.-Marcel (document5), although the year has been changed. This and the following document weredoubtless created at the same time.

This forged document seems to have taken its form from an authentic 885charter of Charles the Fat for the cathedral of Chalon, in which the canons receivedthe right to free elections.I6 The monks, however, changed a few details to maketheir privilege thirteen years earlier than the privilege for the cathedral of Chalonthey were copying.

4Hucbert was a powerful lord as well as rector of St.-Marcel, but the twelfth-centuryscribe had no grounds for calling him a bishop. There was a Bishop Hucbertus (of an unknownsee) who acted as Charlemagne's representative to Pope Hadrian I some time between 784and 791, but it is most likely that this was a different person; see Diimmler, ed., EpistolaeMerowingici et Karolini aevi, 1:626, no. 89. An eighth-century Bishop Hubert of Chalon isoften given in episcopal lists, based solely on this charter; see Gams, Series episcoporumecclesiae Catholicae, p. 533.

Text established on the basis of the cartulary. The following apparatus gives byline numbers the variant readings from the original charter (A), as well as a fewcorrections from the Miihlbacher (MGH) and Atsma-Tjader (ChLA) editions. Asquare bracket shows that one word or phrase is relaced by another; a colonseparates a word and an addition to that word. The following abbreviations areused: add. = add(s); corr. = correct(s); om. = omit(s).5 The KAROLUS on line 56 isdone as a monogram in both the original charter and the cartulary copy, but thecartulary copyist made no attempt to reproduce the Tironian notes after the mono-gram.

The original of this document has been reproduced twice in facsimile and giventwo excellent modern editions. I print here the text as found in the cartulary, giv-ing the variants from the original charter in the apparatus. The editors of the orig-inal have either not noted all the variant readings in the cartulary (Atsma-Tjader)or not noted them at all (Miihlbacher). In working out the variants from the orig-inal charter, which is now only marginally legible, I have relied for dubiousreadings on the editions by Muhlbacher and Atsma-Tjader. I have not noted the"restored" readings of those editors for the places where the original charter isdamaged, because the "restored" readings were normally based on the cartulary.

The major differences are orthographic; the twelfth-century scribe tried toregularize the Latin and spellings. Although Atsma and Tjader assume, on thebasis of the word "exemplaria" in the heading, that the cartulary scribe used notthe original but a copy of the original, I believe that he copied directly from theoriginal; the kinds of slips he made are readily explained by the original itself.For example, where the original gives "Cuius petitionem," with the second wordabbreviated as "petitione," the cartulary gives "Cuius petitione."

Although the authenticity of this charter has been doubted,7 the one elementthat does not seem typical of ninth-century papal privileges is the freedom fromtithes. This is doubtless a later interpolation into an actual privilege. That thescribe who created the obvious forgery of document 1 based his dating formula onthis charter suggests that he, at any rate, considered it authentic.

1039-c. 1065

Theobold, count of Chalon, recalls that Count Geoffrey, second husband ofhis grandmother Adelaide, gave the monastery of St.-Marcel to Cluny, andthat her son Hugh, count of Chalon, confirmed this. Now Theobold and hiswife Ermentrude also agree and confirm.

According to Fredegar, in 584 King Guntram, after he had ruled Burgundy fortwenty-four years, built a church to the martyr Saint Marcel in the suburb ofChalon, in the territory of Saone, and gathered monks there, ordering in a synodthat they should follow the monastic institutions of Agaune.3 The list of propertygiven here corresponds with the lists of property in other forged documents fromthe monastery, including some given to St.-Marcel only in the eleventh century.

It is possible, because of this charter's placement in the cartulary between char-ters from the family of the counts of Chalon, that the Lord Geoffrey mentioned

In this, one of the few surviving tenth-century documents from St.-Marcel frombefore its reform by Cluny, Countess Ermengard appears to control St.-Marcel'sproperty. The house is served by canons. This is the only authentic charter re-cording the house's possession of property at "Scociola" or "Escociolas." Theforger who made that property a gift from King Guntram (document 7) hadpresumably seen this charter.

29Chalon, 21 May 873

Remi, archbishop of Lyon, at a council held at St.-Laurent of Chalon, isasked by Leuterius, provost of St.-Marcel, to grant the basilica of St.-Laurentto his canons. Leuterius shows a privilege saying that it used to be subjectto his church. All the bishops participating in the council agree.

This charter is dated by Duke Hugh I of Burgundy. Although it is treated as twoseparate charters in the cartulary, they are actually one. In fact, the transitionbetween them takes place in the middle of a sentence. Apparently the scribe mis-interpreted the name of the prior, doubtless Aluisus, as the word "Alia" and thusstarted a new charter.

1104

A quarrel is settled between St.-Marcel and Duke Hugh II of Burgundy oversome serfs at Fleurey. The duke settles with the prior of St.-Marcel for hissoul and his father's; the prior gives him a palfrey and two hundred solidi.

Lord Stephen of Neublans, preparing to go to Jerusalem, says that he doesnot want to leave to his sons anything that is in fact the property of St.-Marcel. Therefore he gives the monks whatever he has at Pontoux, with theconsent of his wife and sons. The monks give him 400 solidi. He alsogrants that anyone who holds from him in fief may give their fiefs to St.-Marcel.

Because Stephen Rufus appeared in document 38, from 1096, and because theother people in this document, especially Bertrand of Ouroux and Letbald ofChatenoy, are frequently found in documents from the 1090s, it seems most likelythat this gift was made during that decade.

Heldin gives St.-Marcel some property at "Vireis" and confirms the gift hisbrothers earlier made, for his soul and his parents. He will be buried at St.-Marcel if he dies near Beaune, received as a monk if he wants to be, andrescued if necessary from captivity. For ten years the monks will also lendhim an ox and plow each year when he is planting.

This document must date to after 1107, when Salicher of St.-Marcel was stillalive; see document 55. The presence of the chaplain Benedict makes it likely thatit was given at roughly the same time as document 105.

HenryPrior in document 20 (1043).

AluisusPrior in documents 11 (1072-78), 33 (1071-78), 37 (1075-84), 41 (1073), 50(1074), 71 (c. 1070-c. 1085), 74 (1071-85), 75 (1071-c. 1085), and 102 (c.1070-c. 1085).

NarduinPrior in document 45 (after 1073).

StephenPrior in document 120 (c. 1100-c. 1103). He can have been prior only for a shorttime before the archbishop of Lyon took the office. The Canat de Chizy list, how-ever, puts him in the middle of the eleventh century.

Hugh IArchbishop of Lyon (1081-1106).5 He was briefly prior of St.-Marcel; see docu-ments 36 (1104) and 82 (c. 1100-1104). In 1104, when Hugh II was duke ofBurgundy, the archbishop was succeeded as prior by his nephew, also named Hugh(document 36). Because of a misreading of this charter, the archbishop is some-times erroneously identified as the duke's nephew.

Hugh IISucceeded in 1104 (document 36). Nephew of his predecessor, Archbishop Hugh.Prior in documents 34 (1104-23) and 55 (1107). Called Hugh Berald, monk ofCluny, in document 78 (1114).

Index of Persons and Places

This index covers only the edited charters, not the introduction or list of prov-osts and priors. References are given by document number. When a number ofpeople with the same name are listed, I have put the ecclesiastics before the lay-men and have alphabetized by name of see or castellany as appropriate. Placenames are normally listed by their modern French equivalent, cross-referenced byLatin name. Personal names are indexed by modern equivalents only when theperson in question is discussed and then are cross-referenced. I have not givencross-references when they would refer to an immediately adjacent entry.
