Comment
Date: This charter probably establishes the date for Keynsham's foundation as 1166-7- it was issued after the death of Earl William's son, Robert, in 1166 and probably before the earl's brother, Roger, followed Archbishop Thomas Becket into exile by November, 1167 [see above, p. 4 and n., and Hall, `Roger of Worcester', 128-9, 168]. An inspeximus of Edward II provides some details of Earl William's endowment missing from this transcript [Dugdale, Monasticon, vi, no. ii, 452-3]. William seems to have turned over the actual work of establishing Keynsham to his brother, Bishop Roger.Charter on the DEEDS-homepage: http://deeds.library.utoronto.ca/charters/00810099
