that year, and the following entry refers to Balwin Wac, Lord 

 of Fief du Comte's charter, confirming the same gift of 

 Godfrey Vivier. It may have been taken by accident with 

 other documents from Mont Saint Michel to its daughter abbey 

 of St. Michael's Mount, Cornwall, and have been brought from 

 thence to Exeter along with another char her of the latter 

 abbey which is now in the possession of the Dean and Chapter ; 

 or it may have come into the possession of Otho de Grandison, 

 the famous Warden of the Isles, at the time of the attacks on 

 our privileges early in the 14th century, and after his death, 

 without issue, have passed to his heirs, and so have come into 

 the possession of a very famous Bishop of Exeter, John de 

 Grandison, Otho's nephew, who died in 1370, and have been 

 left by him at Exeter.

(1) Baldwin Wac's charter confirming Geoffrey (apparently an erratum for 

 Godfrey) Vivier's grant to the abbey of Mont St. Michel of land of his fee, is 

 described in Round's Calendar of Documents preserved in France, i., 273: where 

 this Richard appears as Richard de Wivilla.
