"Humphrey de Vieilles (de Vetulis), Seigneur of Vieilles and Pont-Audemer in Normandy, son of Thorold, Seigneur of Pont-Audemer, was one of the followers of Robert I, Duke of Normandy, and in ducal charters he occurs as a witness among the great lords of Normandy and the adjacent lands. He founded at Préaux, near Pont-Audemer, two monasteries: St. Pierre for monks before 1035, and St. Leger for nuns about 1040. He m. Aubreye. [La Roque, Maison de Harcourt, vol. i, p. 40, calls her Aubrée de la Haie without citing any evidence therefor, but the fact that the Abbey of St. Leger-de-Préaux was patron of La Haie-Aubrée, arrond. Pont-Audemer, makes it possible that she was connected with that place.] He is said to have become a monk at St. Pierre-de-Préaux, and, dying shortly afterwards, was bur. there. [In Gall. Christ., vol. xi, col. 836 E, his death is placed in 1074, following apparently Preaux documents printed by La Roque (op. cit., vol. iv, Suppl., pp. I and 3), but this seems much too late, as he cannot be traced in charters later than circa 1040. If a document of St. Leger-de-Préaux is to be believed, his wife Aubreye died 20 Sep. 1045 (Neustria Pia, p. 526), but after Humphrey's death Aubreye and her son Roger de Beaumont made a gift to that abbey (Idem, pp. 521-2): "septuagesimo" may therefore be a misreading for "quadragesimo," and as a later epitaph on Humphrey's tomb gave the day of his death as 28 Sep. (Idem, p. 506), there is some ground for dating it tentatively 28 Sep. 1044, though these Préaux documents are not of high authority. He had three sons: (i) Roger (see below); (ii) Robert, to whom William the Conqueror gave lands in the Cotentin (F. Lot, UAbbaye de St. Wandrille, pp. 62-66) and who was a benefactor of St. Wandrille (Idem) and of St. Pierre-de-Preaux (Gallia Christ., vol. xi, Instr. 201); he was killed in the civil wars of the earlier part of the Conqueror's reign and bur. at St. Pierre-de-Preaux (Orderic—ed. Le Prevost—vol. ii, p. 370; vol. iii, p. 426); (iii) William (Gallia Christ., vol. xi, Instr. 201 A); also a daughter Dunelme, whose daughter became a nun at St. Leger-de-Preaux (Neustria Pia, p. 523). William, third Abbot of Le Bec, was by his mother Aubreye grandson of a daughter of Humphrey (Robert de Torigni, vol. i, p. 79 and Delisle's note).]" [1]
