Grant CharterArchbishop Hugues of Rouen

This parchment charter (1154) records the Archbishop granting, at the request of Abbot Eudes of Saint-Denis, ecclesiastical protection to those attending the market established by the king at Château-sur-Epte. Written on durable parchment, prized since the 7th c. as the preferred medium for royal and ecclesiastical acts, it demonstrates the material’s exceptional resilience across centuries.
