General Notes

RANULF the Moneyer, whose antecedents are unknown, first appears in 1035 when, Robert I of Normandy having died on his way home from Jerusalem, the Abbot of Le Mont St. Michel sold to Ranulf the mill of Vains which the Duke had given to the Abbey. At a later but uncertain date he witnessed, as Ranulf the Moneyer, with his son Osbern, a charter of Roger, son of Hugh, bishop of Coutances, for the Abbey of St. Amand, Rouen. He was dead in 1061. He had 4 sons, whose order of birth is doubtful.  [Complete Peerage XII/2:268-9, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
