Reference
:
The cartulary of Saint-Jean-d'Angély mentions the name of a certain Hugo Monetarius in the region of Melle several times. He is listed amongst the witnesses in six charters between 1060-1097. He was most probably a lay person because there is no mention of a clerical title. The inscription can be attributed to the 11th century. No inscription produced in this region has an O in a lozenge before the 11th century.
