 From the terms, derived from Roman law, which Clotilde uses to describe the lands she is granting to the nunnery, it appears that these had belonged to her son who had died without heirs.The term "Deo devota" used to describe her is read as meaning that Clotilde herself will become a nun in her new foundation.The "vir inluster" Charicard who is to have a life interest in Fontenay-lès-Briis is presumed to be Clotilde's husband for the legal terms used suggest that she was not a widow.
