A letter from Rudolph

Translated letter:

In the name of the holy and individual trinity, Rudolph king by the mercy of God.  Let it be known to all those living and yet to be born how, how I, drawn by spousal love and counseled by the advice of primates of my kingdom, give to my most beloved spouse Ermengarde the city Aix, royal seat, with the tenants of that city, our property, as it is inhabited by them, and the earth cultivated by them.  And I give to her Annecy my revenue (fiscum), Rue with its appurtenances and servants and handmaids.   And I give her Font, the royal castle with its appendices and such part of the town of Evonant as Henry is known to have there with its servants and handmaids and all its appurtenances.  And I give her Neuchatel the most royal seat with its servants and handmaids and all its appurtenances.  And I give her Auvernier with its servants and handmaids and all its appurtenances.  And I give her St. Blaise with all its appurtenances, servants, and handmaids.  Let her have the above named things with the power of holding, giving, selling, or whatever it please her to do with them.  That these things done by us be believed and not violated by our successors, we have strenthened this by our hand and ordered it to be signed with our seal.  Sign of lord Rudolph, most noble king (monogram).  Seal affixed to the membrane.  I, chancellor Paldolf, inspected it.  Given 8th kalends of May, Monday xvii May, in the 1011th year from the incarnation of the Lord, in the 18th year of the reign of lord king Rudolph.  Enacted at Aix.
