Letter CDLVI. of the Abbey of S. Tron

Letter or Charter of Bernard on behalf

Bernard, Abbot of Clairvaux, -to all to whom the present letter shall come.

It happens that the Abbot of Saint Tron 2 and Baldwin de Wasia who are on their way to Rome, that their controversy may be decided, are passing by this place in the course of their journey.

Having heard the cause that was between them, and pitying their labour and expense, I have, by the help of God, brought them to a peaceful and friendly composition in this manner. The Abbey of Saint Tron shall possess for ever, according to its privileges, Werrebroeck and Saleghem, with the undivided parochial right. We have determined also that the church of Saint Tron shall give to Baldwin twenty shillings yearly on the Feast of S. Remigius. Baldwin has also at my entreaty resigned to the same church of Saint Tron the [right to] oblations which he had in that church.

Simon, Bishop of Tournay, also has thus understood the agreement.
