Note 319 — Chapter III · ANJOU AND BLOIS. 987–1044.
Reading edition
This is a remark quoted by M. de Salies (Foulques-Nerra, pp. 115, 361) from Dufour, “Dict. hist. de l’arrond. de Loches,” and grounded on the fact that while the many other Beaulieus, in France and in England, all appear in Latin as “Bellus-locus,” this one is “Belli-locus” in its foundation charter. See a similar case of verbal corruption below, p. 187.
