i) LANDRY [III] (-after Nov 950). "Landrici fratris mei" is named in the charter of Adalgardis dated 950[2531]. He may have been one of the subscribers "Gisoni, Attoni, Landrici" to the charter dated Nov 950 under which "Bodo" donated property "in pago Matisconense in villa Lanco" acquired from "Rainaldo cognate meo" to Cluny[2532], but this is not certain.
