Note 619 — Chapter VII · THE CASTLES OF THE NORMANS IN ENGLAND (continued 2)
Reading edition
Two common friends of Rufus and Gundulf advised the king that in return for the grant of the manor of Hedenham and the remission of certain moneys, “episcopus Gundulfus, quia in opere cæmentario plurimum sciens et efficax erat, castrum sibi Hrofense lapideum de suo construeret.” Textus Roffensis, p. 146. There was therefore an exchange of land in this affair also.
