Charter
Of Maud countess of Clare, daughter of James de St. Hilaire, granting in perpetual alms
To the monks of St. Andrew's, Northampton, her mill of Shipton under Wychwood, Oxfordshire, as she held it most freely at any time, so that the monks may place there whomsoever they will as miller, and remove him, and increase the rent which they derive from the mill according to their power. The countess has made this gift for her spiritual welfare and that of her father and mother, her husband the earl of Clare, and all her ancestors.
