[Somerset Record Society V8 , page 2] Bruton Cartulary - No. 4. Dated 1142-1166. Confirmation, addressed to Robert, bishop of Bath, by William de Moyun, the younger, to the canons of Bruton of his father's gift of a hide of land, the mill and men and whatsoever his father had in the parish of Bruton; with the gift, for the souls of William his father, Agnes his mother, and his brethren, of 60 acres near the fish-pond of Bruham, and pannage for 100 hogs in his wood of Selewode every year. Testibus : — Radulfo capellano et Willelmo filio Durandi et -----. Endnote. B 4. This charter, like No. 1, belongs to the period between 1142 and 1166, but is somewhat later in date, William de Mohun, Earl of Somerset, being dead. William son of Durandus, was doubtless a son of Durandus de Mohun who is mentioned in a writ of Henry I, given in the cartulary of Bath Priory, and was probably identical with Durandus, a tenant under William de Mohun at the time of the Domesday Survey, and with Durandus Dapifer, a witness to the charter of foundation of the priory of Dunster. Ivan son of the Earl was brother of the grantor, the third William de Mohun.
[Calendar State Papers, France] No. 487 – [c1160]. Charter of William de Moyon addressed to all his men, French and English. For the love of God, and for the weal of his soul and those of his wife and relatives, he gives the canons of Briweton the tithe of his cuttlefish and waters at Lyon in alms for ever. And he directs it to be paid every year without diminution. Signed by William de Mohun, Godeheut his wife and William his son and three others.
