Master Wace, His Chronicle of the Norman Conquest From the Roman De Rou

Note 13 — Chapter XXIII

Edgar Taylor translation

SAINT SEVER, (in the arrondissement of Vire), may be here used to represent Hugh Lupus, as AVRANCHES has perhaps been for Richard his father. But the true reading of the text is doubtful. In the British Museum it is Saint Seg, written on an erasure, and followed by a mark of abbreviation; another MS. reads St. Sen,—which would probably be St. Saens; and another reads St. Saire (near Neufchâtel),—St. Salvius, where was an ancient abbey.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
