Medieval lands: Verdun

The 1194/95 Pipe Roll records that "Manaserus Judeus de Gipesw" owed gold "pro recto de xx m versus Willelmum de Verdun et Bertrannum fratrem suum" (Pipe Roll 6 Ric I (1194/95), Norfolk & Suffolk, p. 49). It is not known whether William’s brother "Bertrannum" was the same person as Bertram de Verdun, son of Norman de Verdun. Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record that "Willelmus de Verdone" held six knights’ fees from "comitis Hugonis" in Norfolk (Red Book Exchequer, Part I, Certificationes factæ de feodis militum, p. 395.).
