Reference

:

The cartulary of Saint-Jean-d'Angély (c. 1028-1105) cites the names of three neighbors of Aleacis —Aleardis, Aleata, Aleasis, Aleas, Aleoda, Aleaidis, Aleida—contemporaries of a certain Ugo, monedarius, and figure in the acts that concern the entire region of Melle or Saint-Jean-d'Angély. The location of this inscription near a capital inscribed with Ugo's name is similar to the cartulary. This suggests a rapport between this particular Aleacis and Ugo the monedarius. Perhaps these figures were benefactors of the college. The inscriptions probably date to the same epoch.
