Note 1129 — Chapter VIII · HENRY DUKE OF THE NORMANS. 1149–1154.

Hist. Gaufr. Ducis (as above), pp. 286, 287. The monk is called “frater G.” M. Marchegay suggests that he may have been the “Gauterius Compendiensis,” monk of Marmoutier, whom the writer names among his authorities in the Proœmium to his Hist. Abbrev. (ib. p. 353). If so, this detailed account of the last scene at the siege of Montreuil is due to an eye-witness.
