'Childebert, king of the Franks, to his noble men ... The venerable man Magnoald [is] abbot of the monastery of Tussonval, which is in the country of Chambly, which his uncle, the late Abbot Charderic, built in honour of Saint Dionysius and Saint Marcellus over his own property; and he put that same monastery under a holy rule; and he installed this venerable man, Abbot Magnoald, as ruler over that same place. And this man Magnoald has asked of our majesty concerning this same monastery – as much the abbot as the men fearing God there, and whatever properties or corpora have been granted, or will be granted, to that same place – that no public iudex should enter that same place to hear cases or exact fines, as our father, the lord Theuderic, the late king, confirmed by his own order. Know therefore, that we have granted, provided, and confirmed, for the increase in our riches, that ... Given on the eighth day of the month of April, in the second year of our reign, happily in God's name at Nogent.'
