Sciatis me dedisse et concessisse Deo et Sancte Marie Rothomagensis ecclesie et Gaufrido archiepiscopo ad opus canonicorum suorum in commune totum manerium meum de Clara, ita liberum et quietum et solutum ab omnibus geldis et danegeldis et hidagiis et placitis et auxiliis et omnibus rebus et conseutudinibus, sicut eum habui in meo dominio in bosco et plano, ita quod ad opus meum inde nichil retineo. Et si quis inde aliquid tenuerit, dissaisiatur, nisi ex dono meo vel per breve meum habuerit. Concedo etiam eis mercatum ejusdem ville et hundredum et forisfacturam et justitiam propriorum hominum suorum. Et hoc donum concedo ego perpetualiter in elemosinam pro animabus patris et matris mee et antecessorum et successorum suorum et meorum pro salute mea et statu regni mei. Et volo et firmiter precipio ut bene et in pace et quiete et honorifice teneant cum saca et soca et toll et theam et infangenetheof et omnibus aliis consuetudinibus, sicut ego tenuet habui in meo dominio. Testibus, Willelmo episcopo Wyntonie et Rogero episcopo Saresberie et Roberto episcopo Lincoln' et Bernardo episcopo de Sancta David et Ranulfo cancellario et Willelmo de Warenna et Roberto filio meo et Nigello de Albinneio et Willelmo de Albinneio et Willelmo de Tancardivilla et Gaufrido de Glintona et Gaulfrido filio Pagani et Radulfo Basset, apud Wyntoniam and confirmation of the same by the Dean and chapter of the church of Rouen. By fine of 5 marks. [Note; Bernard bishop of St. David's was consecrated 19 September 1115 and Robert Bloet bishop of Lincoln died 11 January 1123.] Henry, king of the English, to the archbishops, bishops, abbots, earls, sheriffs, barons, and to all his faithful, French and English throughout England, greetings. Be it known that I have given and granted to God and the church of Saint Mary Rouen and to archbishop Geoffrey, for the work of his canons in common, the whole of my manor of Clere, so that free quit and discharged from all gelds, danegelds, hidages, pleas, and aids, with all rights and customs as I have them in my demesne both in wood and field, so that I retain nothing there for my service. And if anyone held anything there he shall be disseased, unless he holds by my gift or brief. I grant them also the market of that town, and the hundred, and all forfeitures and the justice of their own men. And this gift I grant in perpetual alms for the souls of my father and mother and their and my ancestors and succesors, for my salvation and the well being of my kingdom. And I intend and firmly command that they shall hold the same truly, peacefully, quietly and honourably with sac, thol, theam, and infangenetheof , and with all other customary payments as I have and hold in my demesne.
