The best studies of Norman municipal institutions are A. Chéruel,
_Histoire de Rouen pendant l’époque communale_ (Rouen, 1843); A.
Giry, _Les Établissements de Rouen_ (Paris, 1883–85), supplemented
by Valin, _Recherches sur les origines de la commune de Rouen_
(_Précis_ of the Rouen Academy, 1911); Charles de Beaurepaire, _La
Vicomté de l’Eau de Rouen_ (Évreux, 1856); E. de Fréville, _Mémoire
sur le commerce maritime de Rouen_ (Rouen, 1857); Miss Bateson,
_The Laws of Breteuil_, in _English Historical Review_, XV, XVI;
R. Génestal, _La tenure en bourgage_ (Paris, 1900); Legras, _Le
bourgage de Caen_ (Paris, 1911).

The excellent account of the Norman church in H. Böhmer, _Kirche
und Staat in England und in der Normandie_ (Leipzig, 1899), stops
with 1154. On Odo and on Philip d’Harcourt see V. Bourrienne’s
articles in the _Revue Catholique de Normandie_, VII-X,
XVIII-XXIII. The register of Eudes Rigaud (ed. Bonnin, Rouen, 1852)
is analyzed by Delisle, in _Bibliothèque de l’École des Chartes_,
VIII, pp. 479–99; the _Miracula Ecclesie Constantiensis_ and the
letter of Abbot Haimo are discussed by him, _ibid._, IX, pp.
339–52; XXI, pp. 113–39. For the mortuary rolls, see his facsimile
edition of the _Rouleau mortuaire du B. Vital_ (Paris, 1909). The
best monograph on a Norman monastery is that of R. N. Sauvage,
_L’abbaye de S. Martin de Troarn_ (Caen, 1911), where other such
studies are listed. See also Génestal, _Rôle des monastères comme
établissements de crédit étudié en Normandie_ (Paris, 1901), and
Delisle’s edition of Robert of Torigni.
