30. Donation act, from the Livro Preto of the see of Coimbra, in Docs. med. port., Particulares, III,
Lisbon, 1940, no. 523; T. DE SOUSA SOARES, Alguns diplomas particulares dos séculos XI-XIII,
Coimbra, 1942, no. 13. The text is not included in LESPINASSE, Cart, de la Charité or Chartes de
Cluny. The date, given by its editors as '1102(?)' or elsewhere as '1102-1103' because of uncertainty
whether the year of the Incarnation should be reckoned from 1 January or 25 March in a Portuguese
document of this period, can be fixed with some confidence as 1102. A diploma of 5 April 1102, by
which Bishop Maurice of Coimbra grants one Seguin " unam terram pro almunia que est sub
monasterio Sáncte Iuste" (Docs. med. port. Partic., III, no. 64), proves the church of Santa Justa then
already belonged to a monastic house; and other Coimbran charters establish that by 18 August 1102
the capitular prior Martin of the Santa Justa donation charter had been supplanted by his successor
Gongalo, who in the Cluniac act of 4 February appears as still archdeacon. Compare, ibid., nos. 67 (23
April 1102), 72 (1 May 1102), and possibly 79 (31 July 1102), with no. 81 (18 August 1102; "Gunsaluo
Menendiz prior sáncte Marie"). DAVID, Études, 362, n. I, assumes the intermediary Gaufredus was an
otherwise unknown abbatial chamberlain of Cluny herself, but like Count Henry Maurice Bourdin
would not have found persona grata a Cluniac envoy "accredité auprés du souverain" [i. e., Alfonso
VI]. On Archdeacon Gaufredus (Gaufridus), cf. Hist. Compost., I, 16,20; alternatively, even if not the
"Gaufredus filius Rainaudi Gaudet" found in a late 11th-century La Charité charter (LESPINASSE, no.
38), this intermediary may have been sent from La Charité directly and may have come to Coimbra in
connection with the collection of the dízimos of Entre Minho e Mondego.
