1464 document signed by Louis d’Harcourt, Bishop of Bayeux, Normandy, France and Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem. A member of the influential d’Harcourt family of Normandy, Louis d’Harcourt (1424–1479) was a key figure in the Norman rebellion of 1465 against French King Louis XI.

The document, ten lines in all, appears to concern one Robert Legay or Robert Legare “receveur en la die election de la portion de l’aide aux gens L’Englise du dit lieu…” There is also a reference to “La Somme” river. Legay may have helped the Anglo-Normans in Normandy.
