Filius vero fratris Alduini, scilicet Willermus Chausardus, licet filius esset primogeniti et terram de comitatu debuisset habere, solummodo Mastacium et medietatem castri Fronciaci habuit. Hac de causa scilicet quia comes Willelmus ejus avus filios et filias exheredavit, idcirco quia uxor ejusdem Audoini toxicaverat eum [19], et propter hoc sententiam exheredationis in progeniem illius mulieris retorsit. Gaufridus vero comes de uxore sua praedicta filios genuit Fulconem, Gaufredum Rudelli, Arnaldum de Montosario, Willermum et Ademarum postea Engolismenses episcopos. Fulconi primogenito dedit comitatum Engolismae et terram quam ex parte uxoris suae habebat, Gaufredo Rudelli castrum Montosarii. Obiit autem Gaufredus comes MXLVIII anno ab incarnatione Domini.".

Itaque post sepulturam ejus processerunt episcopi cum clero et populo ad sanctam processionem dominicam, et stationem peregerunt. Successit pro Willelmo Hilduinus filius ejus in principatu Egolismae, et praeclarum laeticiae signum in initio principatus ejus ostensum est, cum de dolore sepulturae transiit populus ad laetitiam, obviam domino exclamans".
