Deeds of the Dukes of Normandy. Count Geoffrey of Anjou1, named Martel, a man in all things crafty, frequently afflicted certain of his neighbours with various disasters and intolerable pressures. Among them he treacherously captured Count Theobald, and held him in custody until he violently forced from him the city of Tours, together with several castles. Therefore, when certain occasions of dispute had arisen, he began to move fiercely against Duke William, and laid waste Normandy grievously with plundering, having placed seditious garrisons in the castle of Domfront. The duke, mustering a military force, approached it with the intention of viewing the place; and when he saw it surrounded on all sides by extremely steep and lofty rocks, and inaccessible to assault, he called together the strength of the Normans and hemmed it in with strong fortifications, blocking every passage for exit.
Andegavorum quoque comes Goiffredus agnomine Martellus, vir per omnia versutus, quosdam cladibus diversis et intolerabilibus pressuris in vicino degentes frequenter afflixit. Ex quibus comitem Tetbaldum a se fraudulenter captum tamdiu custodia mancipavit, donec urbem Turonicam ab illo violenter extorqueret, cum nonnullis castellis. Hic ergo, obortis litium quibusdam fomentis, contra Willelmum ducem cœpit atrociter moveri, Northmanniamque rapinis vehementer demoliri, intra Damfrontis castrum seditiosis custodibusimmissis. Quod dux, militare vallatus manu, visendi obtentu aggressus, ut ipsum vidit scopulis asperrimis et eminentibus in gyro circumdatum et inaccessibile ad oppugnandum, vires Northmannorum accivit et firmissimis castellis illud strinxit, ac aditus egrediendi obstruxit.
