Note 434 — Chapter III · ANJOU AND BLOIS. 987–1044.
Reading edition
Fulk Rechin (Marchegay, Comtes), p. 378; R. Glaber, l. v. c. 2 (Rer. Gall. Scriptt., vol. x. p. 61). For the date of the battle—August 21, 1044—see Chronn. Rain. Andeg., S. Albin., S. Serg., Vindoc., S. Flor. Salm., and S. Maxent. ad ann. (Marchegay, Eglises, pp. 11, 24, 136, 166, 188, 395). The Gesta Cons. (Marchegay, Comtes), p. 121, and Gesta Amb. Domin. (ibid.), p. 170, make it 1042, but they cannot possibly be right.
