Commentary

La donazione dell'882 è alla base dello sviluppo dei poteri signorili della chiesa di Vercelli. Concessione in piena proprietà di curtes e diritti pubblici. Il diploma risulta interpolato dal vescovo Leone per quanto riguarda le curtes di Roveredo, Romagnano o Romagnasco, Asigliano, Trecate (incerta risulta essere anche Formigliana). Dopo la defenestrazione di Liutvardo e la deposizione di Carlo il Grosso molti beni già donati alla Chiesa ma utilizzati come beneficio temporaneo attribuito a funzionari pubblici (Sergi, I confini del potere, p. 288) furono controllati dai funzionari stessi e poi dalla dinastia anscarica dei marchesi di Ivrea come se fossero di loro proprietà
