[28] R. Torigni, _l.c._, names “Haimericus de Lizennoio”; the writer
of Ep. 434 in _Mat. for Hist. Becket_, vi. 456, names “Gaufridus de
Lezinniaco” and “Haimericus de Rancone.” There seems to be no other
trace of an Aimeric de Rancogne, if indeed Rancogne be the place
intended here and not Rancon in La Marche, as to the ownership of
which I can discover nothing. There was an Aimeric de Lusignan, and
also a Geoffrey de Lusignan, and there was furthermore a Geoffrey de
Rancogne of whom we shall hear again. To me it seems most probable
that the Lusignan here referred to was Aimeric, and that his
Christian name has (owing to a confusion between him and his brother)
been transposed with that of the lord of Rancogne.

Geoffrey does not give the year explicitly, but he does so implicitly
by saying that Raymond of Toulouse did homage to Richard “anno
sequenti.” S. Valeria’s body was at S. Martial’s abbey at Limoges;
_ib._, 285. According to Geoffrey and the Chronicle of S. Martial’s
(ed. Duplès-Agier), 209, she was the protomartyr not only of
Aquitaine but of Gaul.
