[46] E.g., 1067, April, Vaudreuil, charter by William I in favor of the monks of Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire (Davis, _Regesta_, no. 6a); 1082, June 24, Oissel, two confirmations by William I of grants in favor of Saint-Martin of Marmoutier (_ibid._, nos. 145, 146); [1079-82], confirmation by William I of a grant in favor of the abbey of Troarn (_ibid._, no. 172). Lot publishes two charters of 1051, in which Robert’s attestation as the ‘young count’ has been interpolated at some later date. See _supra_, n. 10. He also publishes a charter, “vers 1071,” in which appears “presente Rotberto comite.” _Saint-Wandrille_, no. 43, pp. 99-100. Lot supposes that this is Count Robert of Eu, but it is more probably Robert Curthose. See Haskins, p. 66, n. 18.
There is no regular practice with regard to Robert’s title in documents during the Conqueror’s lifetime. Occasionally, as above noted, he is called ‘count of the Normans’; occasionally, as has been pointed out in an earlier note (_supra_, n. 34), he bears the title ‘count of Maine.’ Often he appears without title as ‘Robert the king’s son’ (Davis, _Regesta_, nos. 73, 92a, 126, 140, 165, 168, 171, 255); but generally he is called count (_ibid._, nos. 2, 30, 74, 75, 76, 96, 105, 114, 125, 127, 135, 145, 146, 147, 149, 150, 158, 169, 170, 172, 173, 175, 182, 183a, 199); and very frequently his designation is ‘Count Robert the king’s son’ (_ibid._, nos. 30, 74, 75, 105, 114, 125, 147, 149, 150, 158, 169, 170).
[47] This appears to be the implication of Ordericus, ii, p. 188.
[48] On the date see Latouche, _Maine_, p. 36, n. 1. On the revolt generally and its sequel see _ibid._, pp. 35-38; Halphen, _Anjou_, pp. 180-181; _Actus Pontificum_, pp. 376-381; Ordericus, ii, pp. 253-254.
[49] _Actus Pontificum_, pp. 380-381; Ordericus, ii, pp. 254-255; Latouche, _Maine_, p. 38; Halphen, _Anjou_, p. 181. The campaign took place in 1073 (_A.-S. C., a._ 1073) before 30 March, as is shown by a confirmation by King William in favor of the monks of La Couture: “Anno Domini millesimo septuagesimo tercio iii kalendas Aprilis, roboratum est hoc preceptum a rege Anglorum Guillelmo apud Bonam Villam.” _Cartulaire de la Couture_, no. 9. Cf. Latouche, _Maine_, p. 38, n. 7, and p. 147, no. 38.
