[71] _Gesta_, i. 101. The place is there called “Castellum super
Agiens.” M. Richard, _Ctes. de Poitou_, ii. 183, calls it “le château
du Puy de Castillon”; cf. _ib._, 134, “Castillon sur Agen, place
extrêmement forte,” from R. Torigni, a. 1161, “Castellionem super
urbem Agennum, castrum scilicet natura et artificio munitum,” taken
by Henry after a week’s siege in 1161. It seems to be identical with
Grand-Castel, on the river, a little above Agen.

[74] “In liberatione esnecce quando rex junior transfretavit
£7 10_s._ per breve regis. Et in liberatione iiii navium que
transfretaverunt cum eo ... £7 15_s._ per breve regis. Et item
in passagio esnecce quando Ricardus filius regis transfretavit
vii_l._ and x_s._ per breve regis. Et in liberatione iiii navium que
transfretaverunt cum eo vi_l._ per breve regis.”—Pipe Roll 22 Hen. II
(1175-6), 199.
[75] R. Diceto, i. 407.
[76] _Gesta_, i. 121. I am uncertain whether “Montigernac” is meant
for Montignac, or Jarnac, or for both; very likely the latter, as the
two places are close together, and the writer not being familiar with
the country may easily have run two names into one.
[77] Cf. _Gesta_, 120, 121, with R. Diceto, i. 414.
[78] _Gesta_, i. 131-2. The writer’s chronology is obviously
confused, but the closing date of the series may be correct.
[79] R. Torigni, a. 1177.
[80] _Gesta_, i. 127.
[81] _Ib._, 195-6.

[85] Alex. III Ep. in _Rer. Gall. Scriptt._, xv. 954, 955. Cf.
_Gesta_, i. 180, 181.
[86] _Gesta_, i. 168.
[87] Cf. _Gesta_, i. 180-1 with the Pope’s letter, _Rer. Gall.
Scriptt._, xv. 954-5.
[88] _Gesta_, i. 181, 182.
[89] _Ib._, 190, 191; place from R. Diceto, i. 422.

[94] Cf. _Gesta_, i. 195-7, R. Diceto, i. 425, and R. Torigni, a.
1177.
[95] _Gesta_, i. 196.
[96] R. Torigni, a. 1177.
[97] I infer this from the fact that neither she nor her husband,
Guy of Comborn, seem ever to have put forth any claim to the county.
Geoff. Vigeois, 324, speaks as if she were still living at the time
of its sale. She may have died soon after, and as she was childless
(_ib._, and Chron. MS. printed in Duplès-Agier, _Chron. de Limoges_,
188), whatever rights she might have claimed would die with her.
