    Description: Ambulatory, north side (rond point) It is not possible to identify the donor with certainty. Rondier wrote that the Aimeri II, abbot of Saint-Jean-d'Angély, founded the priory of Saint-Hilaire between 1018 and 1030.
    Reference: Paleographic and architectural analysis prohibit dating the inscription earlier than the late eleventh century. A proposed identification of Aimericus as a donor can be found in two donation charters: one for the Abbey of Saint-Jean-d'Angély, the other for the abbey of Saint-Florent de Saumur, between 1090 et 1100 (Cartulaire de l'abbaye royale de Saint-Jean-d'Angély, éd. G. MUSSET, t. II, Paris/Saintes, 1904, n° 435, p. 99 (Archives historiques Saintonge et Aunis, 33), et Chartes poitevines de l'abbaye de Saint-Florent près Saumur, éd. M. MARCHEGAY, t. II, Poitiers, 1873, n° LXXXIV, p. 122 (Archives historiques Poitou, 2).
