Reading edition
“In limitibus suis inter Firmitatem, oppidum scilicet in pago Carnotensi, et Fretivalle, castrum videlicet in territorio Turonensi.” Ep. dclxxxv. (ibid.), p. 339. This Firmitas must be La Ferté-Villeneuil, and Turonensi should be Vindocinensi. Herb. Bosh., who lays the scene “in confinio Carnotusiæ et Cenomanniæ, inter duo castella quorum unum nominatur Viefui” [Viévy-le-Rayé] “et alterum Freteval” (ib. vol. iii. p. 466), is no nearer to the true geography.
