Extract from a letter complaining at Gudiscalc's mistreatment of this monastery and its abbot:
Peruenit itaque ad nos magnitudinem tuam usque ad hoc esse impetu furoris impulsam, ut non solum frangi ianuas monasterii sancti Archangeli uerum etiam diripi exinde quod ibi inuentum est faceres.
‘And so it has come to our attention that your Greatness has been so driven by the impetus of fury that not only did you have the doors of the monastery of the Holy Archangel broken open, but also had what was found inside removed.’
