Gift
From Source
3/384/2 (Dunf. Reg., no. 299)
Firm date
1178 X
Probable date
perhaps late 12th c
Dating Notes
This would appear to be a re-donation of <em>Dunf. Reg.</em>, no. 158, with additional lands given to the monks, but the end of the charter and witness list are apparently not extant, which make it impossible to know on what anniversary of the dedication of the church this occurred. Geoffrey II de Maleville was fairly prominent in royal charters of the 1180s and 1190s.
