Baldric of Noyon explained

Baldric or Balderic was the forty-second bishop of Tournai and Noyon (1099–1112).^[1] He was born in Artois and was a canon and cantor in the dioceses of Cambrai and Thérouanne prior to becoming bishop.^[2]

The Deeds of the Bishops of Cambrai has mistakenly been attributed to him.^[1] His surviving acta include the charter of 1105 by which he awarded the right of presentment for Tielt to the chapter of St Salvator in Harelbeke.^[3]
