Gregarius autem miles quidam, nomine Ingelmarus, comiti diu servierat: cui ipse comes, quamvis inferioris generis esset, propter militarem tamen strenuitatem, quam in eo videbat, volens servitium suum honeste, ut sibi semper mos fuit, remunerare, uxorem nepotis sui Serlonis - videlicet qui apud Siciliam a Saracenis interemptus fuerat - cum omni dote sibi competenti, ipsa multum renitente, in matrimonium sibi concessit |
| Translation |
A certain ordinary knight [gregarius miles] called Ingelmarius had served the count for a long time. The count wished to reward this service properly, for such was his custom, and he saw in him a man of great and warlike valour [militaris strenuitas]. For this reason, and despite the latter's low birth, he gave him in marriage the widow of his nephew Serlo, who had been killed in Sicily by the Saracens, along with all the dower which belonged to her |
