Notes
- ^ However, the village of Varneville aux Grès (now Varneville-Bretteville) had a different name in the 12th century. The village is really known as Wattnevilla or Watnevilla in 1050 - 1060, and then Wadnevilla in the 12th century and Wasnevilla in 1192 - 1198[4]
- ^ The historian David Spear contradicts himself in Personnel of the Norman Cathedrals on when Ralph quit the treasurership of Rouen. On page 214 when discussing the archdeacons of Rouen, he states about Ralph that "by 1172 he seems to have given up the treasurership",[6] but on page 219, discussing the treasurers of Rouen, he states that the last occurrence of Ralph as treasurer was in 1176.[5]
