Using archival materials and church charters from the province of
Anjou, archivist Paul Marchegay draws a broad and comprehensive
picture of the history of this province in western France. Volume
2, published in 1853, comprises charters from the abbey of
Marmoutiers, near Tours, that give an insight into local life
through centuries. There is a document listing the names of the
nobility of Angers in 1310 and another that counts the number of
fishmongers registered as trading in Angers between 1408 and 1449.
The most curious piece among the documents dates from around 1060
and tells of the burial place of a knight who fell in battle; his
mother and brother then brought the body to the priory at Daumeray
near Angers. The documents in this work give vivid and authentic
images of medieval life, faith and traditions.
