The
chartulary of Saint Vertin alone introduces us to: 1st, a deacon named
Winidmarus, who in 723 wrote a deed of sale at Saint-Omer itself
(Guerard, p. 50); 2d, a knight of the County of Flanders, Winemarus, who
assassinated the Archbishop of Rheims, Foulques, who was then Abbot of
Saint-Bertin (Guerard, p. 135); 3d, Winemarus, a vassal of the Abbey,
mentioned in an act dated 1075 (_ib._, p. 195); 4th, Winemarus, Lord of
Gand, witness to a charter of Count Baudouin VII in 1114 (_ib._, p.
255). The personage in _Huon de Bordeaux_ might also be connected with
Guimer, Lord of Saint-Omer, who appears in the beginning of _Ogier le
Danios_, if the form, Guimer, did not seem rather to derive from
Withmarus."[34]

[Footnote 34: With this note may be connected the following page of the
Wauters, a chronological table of Charters and printed Acts, Vol. II, p.
16, 1103: "Balderic, Bishop of the Tournaisiens and the Noyonnais,
confirms the cession of the tithe and patronage of Templeuve, which was
made to the Abbey of Saint-Martin de Tournai by two knights of that
town, Arnoul and Guinemer, and by the canon _Geric.
