Reading edition
Sloane, xxxi. 4 (No. 48).
[1202] See my Ancient Charters (Pipe-Roll Society), pp. 45-47. There are two Devizes charters of the Empress, besides this one, not included in Mr. Birch's collection, namely, her grant of Aston (by the Wrekin) to Shrewsbury Abbey, and her general confirmation to that house. They are both attested by Earl Reginald, William fitz Alan, Robert de Dunstanville, and "Goceas" de Dinan, but are later than 1141, to which date Mr. Eyton and others assign them.
[1203] In the second charter of the Empress to Geoffrey de Mandeville the elder (1142) we have the first sign of a desire to secure her son's adhesion.
