Charters and Custumals of the Abbey of Holy Trinity, Caen, Part 2: The French Estates

by John Walmsley

This book is a critical edition of the twelfth-century surveys (custumals) of the French estates of the renowned Norman abbey of Holy Trinity, Caen. Together with its companion volume--Marjorie Chibnall's 1982 volume on the abbey's English estates--it makes available important and relatively scarce comparative material on the development of monastic estates on both sides of the Channel.
