Note 985 — Chapter VI · ENGLAND AND THE BARONS. 1139–1147.
Reading edition
Hist. Gaufr. Ducis (as above), pp. 296–298. The last-named place appears in Rob. Torigni, a. 1142, as “Cerences.” In the Hist. Gaufr. Ducis, as printed by M. Marchegay (p. 298), it is “Cerentias”; in the old editions it was “Carentias,” which the editors of Rer. Gall. Scriptt. rendered “Carentan.” “Cérences” is the rendering of M. Delisle (Rob. Torigni, vol. i. p. 226, note 2). It lies about half-way between Avranches and Coutances. There is a “Chérencé-le-Roussel” a few miles north-west of Mortain.
