The Deeds of the Bishops of Cambrai has mistakenly been attributed to him.[1] His surviving acta include the charter of 1105 by which he awarded the right of presentment for Tielt to the chapter of St Salvator in Harelbeke.[3]
Notes
edit- ^ His name in French may be spelled Baldéric, Baudri or Baudry. In Latin it is Baldericus.
