Biography
Rainald of Martigné was bishop of Angers from 1101 or 1102 until 1124, when he became archbishop of Rheims. In 1120, he authorized the abbot of St. Nicolas of Angers to establish an almonry at Le Genéteil, asking that an ordained monk would say mass that God would lead him and the count of Anjou safely out and safely back (from Jerusalem).
